The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra presents "In the English Countryside"
Join us as Music Director James Richard Frieman leads The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra in a concert of music inspired by the English countryside.
The concert will feature concertmaster Colyn Fischer in Ralph Vaughan Williams' celebrated tone poem "The Lark Ascending," which evokes the bucolic atmosphere of English countryside as it was in the early 20th century.
Also featured on the concert are Gustav Holst's "A Somerset Rhapsody" based on three folk songs from the county of Somerset and "An English Suite" for string orchestra by Sir Hubert Parry, one of England's most inventive composers and a teacher of both Vaughan Williams and Holst.
Rounding out the program are two works by George Butterworth: the idyllic "On the Banks of Green Willow", and "A Shropshire Lad", an orchestral epilogue to the composer's achingly beatiful song cyle on poems of A. E. Housman.
Join us for a musical ramble through the English countryside at one of our two upcoming performances:
Saturday, March 2nd at 7:00 pm at Transfiguration Episcopal Church, 3900 Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo
Sunday, March 3rd at 4:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Palo Alto, 1140 Cowper St. in Palo Alto.
Discount advance tickets are available online at www.nmchamberorchestra.org or from your friendly orchestra member. Tickets are also available at the door at both performances.
