Ensemble 212 presents Sonorous Strings: Orchestra Concert

Ensemble 212 presents Sonorous Strings: Orchestra Concert, the second show of its 2013-14 season on Wednesday, November 13th at 8pm. Representative of a true kaleidoscope of styles, the evening will feature music from Baroque and Romantic eras as well as that of the 20th and 21st centuries. Special guest soloist, violist Rachel Ku of the Philadelphia Orchestra, will perform the New York premiere of The Desires for Viola & String Orchestra, by Composer in Residence, Ke-Chia Chen. A new arrangement of Vitali's Chaconne for Violin & String Orchestra by Artistic Director Yoon Jae Lee will also be given its world premiere by violinist Miyun Chung. Rounding out the evening's fantastic programming are Mahler's tender Adagietto which is contrasted with Vivaldi's vigorous Concerto 'alla rustica' and Bartok's Divertimento filled with elements of folk music.
