March 2010: Serenades And Dances

The New Century Chamber Orchestra's third concert program honors community and tradition. Dvořák, Britten, and Bartók are all strongly identified with the music of their native lands. We welcome rising young Bay Area stars Brian Thorsett and Kevin Rivard for the darkly poetic Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. The evening opens with Nadja leading the orchestra in a fiery rendition of Kreislers showpiece, Praeludium and Allegro, a favorite of audiences and musicians alike.
