On Sunday, November 13 at 4:00 p.m., the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra will present “String Music - Old and New.” This concert features an eclectic mix of works for string orchestra, from Mozart’s Serenata Notturna to William Walton’s music from the film: Henry V. Concert begins at 4:00 p.m. in the unique setting of Castle Farms in Charlevoix.
The program will also include Eclogue, a work for piano and string orchestra featuring pianist and GLCO Music Director Matthew Hazelwood, the Strauss Pizzicato Polka, and Michi Wiancko’s arrangement of La Follia: Variations for String Orchestra. Wianko’s arrangement is based on an ancient theme that has been famously used by Arcangelo Corelli and Francesco Geminiani. The work was arranged from Corelli and Geminiani’s versions and dedicated to the East Coast Chamber Orchestra earlier this year.
Admission to this program is advance ticket sales, $14, through Treatickets.com and $15 at the door. Students age 18 and under, active military and people with disabilities are admitted free.
