Our next Music For Food concert will feature the Capital City Chamber Orchestra, a group of 15 terrific musicians coming together to help fight hunger in our community. Our performers are: Corinne Stillwell, Carrie Holden, Meg Terry, Kristin Pfeifer Yu, Lee Taylor, Kristina Nilsson, Ken Davis, Miriam Tellechea, Allyson Royal, Andrea Stanley, Kim Jones, Evan Jones, Zlatina Staykova, George Speed, and Kylan Bigby. Back by popular demand, we'll be sharing our second annual program of music for chamber orchestra. We'll open the concert with a set of four "Novelletten" by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, which is a new discovery for me, and a charmingly delightful piece. It also features some surprising sparkles from a most unusual addition to the standard string orchestra. The program culminates with the beloved String Serenade by Piotr Tchaikovsky, the king of dance (think Nutcracker) and warm-hearted melodies that soar. This piece is a favorite among performers and audiences alike, and I'm sure you will love it.
