The doors are open wide to welcome you into a world of mesmerizing melodies and outstanding artistry.
Guided by the adept hand of conductor Ken Hardin, InConcert Sierra Orchestra, comprised of local and regional professional musicians, promises a musical voyage encompassing a selection of enduring classics and contemporary jewels.
Prepare to be entranced by a meticulously curated program, featuring Finzi’s “Eclogue for Pianoforte and String Orchestra,” Rossini’s “Overture: Il Signor Bruschino,” and “Salut d’Amour” by Edward Elgar, and Mozart’s “Symphony #40 in G Minor, K.550.”
A highlight of the afternoon’s program will be the premiere of “Sierra Rhapsody,” composed by local composer Alexis Alrich, and showcasing local pianist Lynn Schugren.
“I’m thrilled that Alexis chose InConcert Sierra for the debut of her new orchestral and piano composition. Our community’s deep appreciation for the natural world and its intersections with the vibrant local arts scene is something I’m incredibly proud of,” said Hardin.
This marks the opening concert of InConcert Sierra’s 2023-24 Third Sunday Concert Series, featuring performances on the third Sunday of each month, culminating in May.
