Fairfield County's own American Chamber Orchestra has an exciting program planned for Saturday, February 2 at 8 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Fairfield. Renowned cellist Kangho Lee will display his multitudinous talents in Edouard Lalo's Cello Concerto in D minor. He not only has given solo recitals in Boston, Los Angeles, New York and St. Louis but has performed with numerous orchestras including the Korean Symphony, the Round Top Festival Orchestra, the Sofia National Academy and the Yale Philharmonia.
To round out the concert, Christopher James Hisey will conduct Mikhail Glinka's A Life for the Tsar Overture, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky's Symphony #2, known as the "Little Russian".
