Espressivo Orchestra presents “From Rustic to Royal”
Espressivo – Santa Cruz’s “small intense orchestra” – will present a concert for string ensemble on Sunday, January 12 at 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center of San Lorenzo Valley High School. The program opens with Bela Bartok’s rustic and lively Romanian Dances then steps back two centuries into the royal court of Frederick the Great of Prussia, where Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – J. S. Bach’s second son – wrote his elegant keyboard concerto in d minor. After the intermission, Espressivo journeys to St. Petersburg, where Tchaikovsky composed his charming and Mozartian Serenade for Strings in C.
Conducting the concert is Russian-born Alexander Katsman, widely respected throughout the Bay Area and currently Music Director of Livermore Valley Opera. The piano soloist is Hilda Huang, winner of the Leipzig Bach Competition when she was only 18 and now an international soloist. Santa Cruz will remember her recent spectacular performance of Beethoven’s “Choral Fantasy” with Ensemble Monterey.
Tickets are available at the door or from Espressivo’s website: www.espressorch.org.
