PALO ALTO CHAMBER ORCHESTRA TO PERFORM AN UPLIFTING
COLLECTION OF MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE AGES

March 13th Concert features Double Reed Virtuoso, Peter Lemberg
Benjamin Simon, Conductor

PACO’s most senior of its five youth orchestras will perform an uplifting collection of classical and contemporary music under the direction of PACO music director, Benjamin Simon, on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. This dynamic program includes movements of four primary pieces plus chamber music performed by small ensembles of PACO members. PACO favorite Peter Lemberg returns with the oboe’s larger cousin, an instrument that is neither English nor a horn. Mozart’s beautiful Adagio is paired with Vincent Persichetti’s masterful Concerto for English Horn (1977), surrounded by two authentically English works: Handel’s Concerto Grosso Op. 6 No. 6 plus the delightful English Suite by Hubert Parry. The concert will take place at the new Albert and Janet Schultz Cultural Hall on the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto. Tickets are $15/adult, $10/senior and $5/student.
