Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra Concert: Mediterranean Journey



Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra Concert: Mediterranean Journey
Saturday, March 9, 2013, Cubberley Theatre, 8:00pm, 4000 Middlefield Road, Palo
           
Benjamin Simon, conductor, Kaila Flexer, violin soloist
Program: Mendelssohn: Sinfonia No. 2 in D Major, Flexer: As-Yet-Untitled Suite, Dohnányi: Serenade for String Orchestra, Op. 10

One of the Bay Area’s most interesting and innovative musicians, violinist Kaila Flexer brings a suite of her Balkan-flavored compositions to our PACO stage, plus her own great back-up band of oud, saz, and darbuka.  Sandwiching our exotic voyage will be pair of classical works for string orchestra: a brilliant symphony by the 11-year old Felix Mendelssohn and a virtuoso arrangement of Ernst von Dohnányi’s folk-inspired Trio Serenade.
