The Concerto as Chamber Music

Presented by Valley of the Moon Music Festival

Who needs a large orchestra when you can bring across the magic of Mozart’s Symphony Concertante with just a string quartet, bass and two soloists? In this case, star VMMF Laureates Rachell Ellen Wong and Andrew Gonzalez take the solo parts in an arrangement for string sextet. Excerpts of a string quartet by Florence Price and selections from Ravel’s enthralling Ma mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose Suite”) for four-hands piano round out the program.
