Sunday, June 22 at 7PM in the sanctuary at the First Presbyterian Church (8th & Monroe St).
This concert is presented in cooperation with the Chintimini Chamber Music Festival – a summer festival of chamber music featuring former Corvallis musicians who now play professionally throughout the world. Tickets are $10 and donations are gratefully accepted.
The music for the tour was carefully selected to share the greatest music from both countries. The Camerata will perform the music of American composers Samuel Barber and Ernst Bloch (who lived the last 15 years of his life just north of Newport, Oregon), as well as great Italian masters Vivaldi, Puccini and Respighi. A highlight of the tour will be performing the Tchaikowsky “Souvenir de Florence” in the Chiesa San Stefano in Florence on July 4th.
As an added bonus for the audience at the “Farewell” concert, former Camerata members Erik Peterson, (Colorado Symphony), Sarah Knutson, (San Francisco Symphony) and Adam Esbensen (Boston Symphony Orchestra) will join the Camerata in the Tchaikowsky “Souvenir de Florence” at the close of the concert. Also joining the Camerata for the final piece is the composer Kenji Bunch and violist Phillip Stevens from the Colorado Symphony.
The Camerata will also present a free concert today (Friday, June 20) at Corvallis Riverfront Park (across from Big River Restaurant).
Maestro Creighton invites the community to come hear the “best student orchestra ever!”
* Camerata definition: “A gathering of writers and musicians who meet regularly to discuss and experiment with art and music.”
