The Evergreen Chamber Orchestra kicks off our 2024-2025 Masterworks Concert Series with a program that promises to delight and inspire.
Our Season Opener Concert begins with Mozart’s effervescent Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525. Translated as “A Little Night Music,” this beloved work is a sparkling gem filled with catchy melodies and playful rhythms.
Next, experience the virtuosity of ECO’s principal violist Trent Guerrero as he takes center stage in Carl Stamitz’s Concerto for Viola in D Major, Op. 1. This masterpiece from a lesser-known composer showcases the viola in a dazzling spotlight, with its lyrical melodies and technical challenges. Soloist Trent Guerrero has studied with Basil Vendryes and Matthew Michelic, and graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance from Lawrence University in Wisconsin. We are thrilled that this will be his debut as a soloist with the Evergreen Chamber Orchestra!
The heart of the program is Franz Joseph Haydn’s monumental Symphony No. 104, often nicknamed the “London Symphony”. This masterpiece, and the final symphony that Haydn composed, is a grand and exhilarating work beginning with a slow and mysterious introduction which breaks the tension by moving to a quick folk-like theme, followed by unforgettable melodies in the Andante section and concluding with the lively Finale: Spiritoso. Haydn was a master of symphonic form, and this work is a shining example of his genius.
