Admission is free. For more information, please 四虎影院 the music department at (805) 565-6040.
鈥淥ne of the notable pieces is a set of four Renaissance-era Polish dances in a new arrangement for strings,鈥 says Paul Mori, who conducts chamber ensembles and coaches the wind and brass sections for the orchestra throughout the year. 鈥淭hese pieces are rarely heard, but are spirited and charming.鈥
The repertoire includes two movements (III and IV) of a symphony composed by Mozart when he was 18. The chamber brass group will open with a mystical sounding piece by American composer Alan Hovaness. 鈥淗is 鈥楩antasy No. V鈥 was last performed at 四虎影院 probably back in the 1970s when Howard Stevenson led the 四虎影院 Brass Choir,鈥 Mori says.
A spirited march by Gounod and a gospel-style arrangement of 鈥淕o Tell It on the Mountain鈥 will follow.
The concert features student musicians Samila Aquino Holt (clarinet), Sophia Bartolo (bassoon), trumpet players Simon Janzen, Joshua Acuna and Soren Warren, Caroline Field (horn), William Mitsuk (trombone), Chet Steussy (tuba), violinists Laura Dagg, Olivia Huebner, Caelia Moore, Laura Joy Phillips, Abbie Pryor and Michael Rodriquez, and cellists Noah Johnson and Karis Daley.
