Ode to Autumn Concert

The concert features four small ensembles that have been rehearsing separately following physical distancing protocols.

The repertoire includes:

• Serenade for Strings and Elegy, Op. 58, Elgar

• Irish Melody, Frank Bridge

• English Folk Song Suite and Charterhouse Suite, Vaughan Williams

• Trois Pièces for Woodwind Quartet, Eugene Bozza

“So much of playing beautifully together is about listening to each other,” says SPO conductor Yariv Aloni. “Physically distanced playing challenges our musicians in new ways; we have to listen more carefully, pay more attention, feel the music together. Our ensembles have risen to the challenge and advanced their playing.”
