Happy New Year, friends!
I hope this find you healthy and happy. We were so sad to cancel our Chamber Concert in early January. We are hoping the musicians will stay healthy through next week, and we can present our Masterworks Concert.
Unfortunately, due to rising Covid numbers, we are shortening our program, presenting only William Kraft Concerto for Timpani (No. 1) featuring CSO Principal Alex Wadner and Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. I wrote series of blog posts about Pictures in the past. Pictures blog (you can also type in the search).
I had a conversation with Alex a few months ago about Kraft's piece. Take a look:
Looking forward to sharing this exciting work with you all next week!
Best,
Kayoko
