"Banned Music" - New Millennium Chamber Orchestra
The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra invites you to join us for the final concert of our 10th
anniversary season. This spring concert features musical compositions that have been banned by those in power throughout time, most during the composers lifetimes.
Our program includes overtures from George Frideric Handels Rinaldo and Alessandro Scarlattis Telemaco, operas whose performances were forbidden in Catholic countries under Pope Clement XI in the early 1700s.
Banned Music will feature suites from "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" by Kurt Weill, a political satire in operatic form; and Erich Korngolds incidental music to Shakespeares comedy "Much Ado About Nothing". Both works were banned by the Nazi regime.
Henriëtte Bosmans was a leading composer and performer in The Netherlands in the first half of the twentieth century. Her evocative Concert Piece for Flute and Chamber Orchestra will feature our principal flutist Margaret Warton.
Please help us celebrate a decade of innovative community music-making on the Peninsula at the final concerts of our tenth anniversary season!
Saturday, April 29th, 7 pm at Transfiguration Episcopal Church, 3900 Alameda de las Pulgas, San Mateo.
Sunday, April 30th, 4 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 1140 Cowper Street, Palo Alto.
