Sinfonia of the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra to perform Season Second Concert

Under the direction of PACO guest conductor Michel Taddei, PACO's Sinfonia Orchestra will present a program of renowned composers from around the world.  The program will open with the energetic and joyful third Brandenburg Concerto of Johann Sebastian Bach, followed by chamber works of Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Dmitri Shostakovich.  With the sultry rhythms of Argentina perfectly conveyed through string orchestra timbres, a set of contemporary tangos by Benedict Brydern will be performed to take us to a different part of the globe. The last and principal work on the concert will be the Novellettes, opus 58, by Niels Wilhelm Gade.  The Novellettes are challenging to play and beautiful with a richness and romanticism that are certain to please.  The concert will take place on Sunday, March 20, at 3:00PM at the Cubberley Theater in Palo Alto.   Admission is free.  For more information, call 650-856-3848 or visit http://www.pacomusic.org.
