The program, “3 5s,” will feature Samuel Barber’s “Summer Music for Woodwind Quintet,” Felix Mendelssohn’s “Viola Quintet in A Major,” and Ernest Dohnanyi’s “Piano Quintet in C Minor,” all performed by the Festival Chamber Orchestra and pianist Elizabeth Pridgen. The concert will be repeated at 5:00 P.M. Saturday, August 6, at Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library.
This sets the stage for the Gala at 5:00 P.M. Sunday, August 7, at the Highlands Performing Arts Center. The Festival Chamber Orchestra, with the additional talents of violinist Andres Cardenes and pianist Dr. William Ransom, will perform W.A. Mozart’s “Violin Concerto #5 in A Major,” Tomaso Albinoni’s “Adagio for Strings,” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Piano Concerto #4 in G Major.”
