submitted by Kim Nguyen


Second Concert, December 17,
Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University


Benjamin Simon, Music Director

The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra will perform their second concert of the season on Saturday, December 17, celebrating two famous Viennese composers of the Classical and Romantic eras. The program features PACO talented alumna Dina Glendening-Keller performing Beethoven’s titanic Piano Concerto #5 (“Emperor”), coupled with his Coriolan Overture. The concert also presents Felix Mendelssohn’s brilliant Italian Symphony, which warmly and charmingly balances the stern beauty of Beethoven’s works. For this special program, the Sinfonia Orchestra and Senior PACO are combined to create our largest ensemble of the season. In addition, several movements from the great chamber music masterpieces will be performed by our most advanced players. The concert, to be conducted by PACO Music Director Benjamin Simon, will take place at 8:00 p.m. at Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University. Admission is free.
