Join the Peoria Symphony Orchestra, Maestro George Stelluto, Oto Carrillo, horn, and Christine Lamprea, cello, for the Sounds of Spring concert on Saturday, March 25 at Grace Presbyterian Church.
In the first half of this program, the Peoria Symphony Orchestra welcomes two fine soloists. Oto Carillo, horn, of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, opens the concert with Strauss’s Horn Concerto No. 1. This work, written when the composer was only 19 years old, was inspired by his father’s playing. The dynamic young Christine Lamprea, cello, then joins us for the Cello Concerto No. 1 by Saint-Saëns, one of the finest Romantic works for the cello. The program ends with a youthful work by Bizet, the Symphony in C.
Strauss: Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major
Saint Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor
Bizet: Symphony in C
