Chamber Orchestra Concert

Lovers of classical music hold the Baroque era in high regard. Here, deep emotion is coupled with a purity of harmonic language and a sense of formal balance. Listening to music of the Baroque helps to calm our minds and lift our spirits!

The concert begins with J.S. Bach’s first suite of orchestral dances and ends with his monumental piano concerto in D minor, performed by Earlham professor Shiyu Wang. In between, two works by Venetian masters will be heard: Vivaldi’s Concerto for four violins and Albinoni’s concerto for two oboes.

Also appearing on the concert are two other works featuring Earlham faculty. Tenor Jarrod Davis will perform music director Forrest Tobey’s Blessing on the Wild Child (text by Dylan Thomas), and professor Marc Benamou will appear as a classical whistler, performing the famous Queen of the Night aria (Der Hölle Rache) from Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Join us for this wonderful evening of music by our student chamber orchestra.
