One of the youngest of Fairfield County's orchestras is the American Chamber Orchestra. This six year-old chamber music group performs the major works of the symphonic repertoire, aims to capture new artistic talent and presents new contemporary music.
Its new season begins this Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Fairfield. Music director Christopher James Hisey will lead the ensemble with the Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave) by Felix Mendelssohn, Piano Concerto in A minor by Robert Schumann with soloist Dorothy Kolinsky, and Symphony #3 (The Eroica) by Ludwig van Beethoven.
To acquaint yourself with this timely music, feel free to check the Westport Public Library's holdings.
