Intermission
Franz Schubert (arr. Breuer): Chamber Symphony (after Piano Sonata D. 960)
Celebrate Chopin’s birthday (March 1, 1810) with the GRAMMY® Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Italian pianist Alessio Bax collaborating to perform Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1.
Orpheus is a radical experiment in musical democracy, proving for 50 years what happens when exceptional artists gather with total trust in each other and faith in the creative process. Making Carnegie Hall its home for over 35 years, Orpheus returns to the Lied Center after its 2017 performance “wowed” Lincoln audiences.
“Orpheus Chamber Orchestra was electrifying.” - The Huffington Post
