Benjamin Simon, conductor Sterling Elliott, cello [2015 Debut Artist and 2014 Sphinx Competition Winner]
Franz Schubert - Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821 (arr. Klug) Johannes Brahms - String Quintet No. 1 in F major, Op. 88 (arr. Simon)
Masterworks by the great Romantics Schubert and Brahms feature the virtuosic string players of the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra. Making his West Coast debut with these performances of Franz Schubert's heart-wrenchingly beautiful "Arpeggione" Sonata is Sterling Elliott, a 14-year old cellist and honor student from Newport News, Virginia. Sterling is the 2014 junior division winner of the Sphinx Competition, organized by Sphinx-a Detroit-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. Johannes Brahms' F major string quintet is a favorite of our musicians, so we're expanding the quintet to 18 and letting all our wonderful players join in the fun!
Great music worth listening to. Classical masterpieces, unusual gems, and modern works offer a feast for your ears at every concert, while Maestro Simon's engaging onstage talks help you connect more powerfully with the music. Concerts are generally 90 to 120 minutes in length, with an intermission.
Admission is free to all concertgoers! Supporting members receive priority seating and priority entrance 60 minutes before concert time please bring your membership card with you. Non-members may enter 45 minutes before concert time.
