Salon 3:
Please join the principal winds of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra for a fabulous program of quintet music, all by American composers. We are so excited about this concert! We will travel through a couple of standards, the gorgeous Summer Music by Samuel Barber, the perfectly danceable Partita by Irving Fine, and also visit a couple of pieces that may be less familiar. Umoja, meaning unity, written by one of our top young American composers, Valerie Coleman, and is more timely than ever. We go back in time a bit with an arrangement of Summerland by the formidable and under performed William Grant Still, originally written for solo piano in 1936. And we couldn’t resist throwing in a nod to Paris with some Gershwin just for fun, because who doesn’t need some fun these days? We hope you’ll enjoy the journey as much as we will.
