Victoria Chamber Orchestra Concerto Concert

Mar 12, 2010 to Mar 12, 2010

Metropolitan 1st United Church , Victoria

Ryan Gajek, winner of the 2010 Louis Sherman Concerto Competion, will play Haydn's C Major Concerto for Cello. Violist, Rachel Kratofil, 2nd place winner, and violinist, Aline Dumalski, 3rd place will also be there to accept their prizes.
Two other works on the program are: Grieg's tuneful Holberg Suite, full of sweet Norwegian melodies arranged for string orchestra will contrast with Honegger's Symphony #2, which is a dark work against the backdrop of WW II. The symphony is difficult but eventually ends when a trumpet joins the 1st violins with a quote from a triumphant oratorio by Bach.
Tickets are at Ivy's books, Larsen's Music or at the door: $14 and $18, string students are free.
