QSO's Season Opener, The New Salon Music

Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009 at 7:30 pm (pre-concert lecture at 6:30 pm)
Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC)

QSO's Masterworks Concert Series, Strings Attached, will open with an exciting combination of classic and modern chamber works in The New Salon Music. The evening will open with C.P.E. Bach's Symphony No. 1 in G Major, a work which bridged the gap between Baroque and Classical fashions. The evening will continue with a world premiere by Michael Starobin, entitled Variations on a Theme by Sondheim. Next, QSO's 2009 Young Soloist Competition winner, Andrew Lowy, will perform Aaron Copland's Concerto for Clarinet. And to close the evening, QSO will present a work influenced by Bach, Divertimento in D Major by W.A. Mozart. To learn more about each selection, attend our pre-concert lecture where you will be able to ask questions and hear from our guest artists and Maestro Kitsopoulos.

Symphony 101 launches this Fall!

QSO and the Queens Library have partnered to create an exciting series at libraries throughout the borough called Symphony 101.
