VIRTUOSITY . Keys and Reeds

Music Director Nurhan Arman and the orchestra are joined by two guest stars for a journey through four centuries of beauty. Starting in the Classical period, the orchestra will open the concert with Mozart's Salzburg Symphony K 136, three sparkling movements written for court entertainment and still a favourite with every audience. Marianna Shirinyan will play JS Bach's famous Piano Concerto in F Minor and also Maestro Arman's orchestral version of Robert Schumann's romantic Piano Quintet in E-Flat Major. Caitlin Broms-Jacobs premiered Toronto composer Kevin Lau's Oboe Concerto "Prayer in a Green Cathedral" in 2022 with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and will give its second-ever performance.
