If you are looking for symphonic music performed in a cozy, local space, be sure to go to the American Chamber Orchestra's concert on Saturday, February 6 at 8 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Fairfield. This 60+ member group draws its musicians from various Connecticut counties and prides itself on engaging the audience by presenting new upcoming talent, familiar works from the repertoire and new compositions by 21st century composers.
Saturday's program features Bedřich Smetana's Die Moldau, Robert Schumann's Symphony #1 "Spring," and Joseph Rheinberger's Organ Concerto #1. Christopher James Hisey will conduct, and Leslie Smith will be the organ soloist.
If you get a chance, be sure to stop at the Library to acquaint yourself with these pieces.
