WSO Café Concert: Five Freedom Songs

Enjoy your morning coffee onstage with music and the WSO!

The WSO’s very own concertmaster, Lillian Scheirich, brings to life a concerto by the swashbuckling 18th century composer, Joseph Bologne, the Chavalier de St. Georges. This lush work was written by Bologne to perform himself and speaks to his virtuosity with the violin. Jessie Montgomery is one of the most exciting new composers on the scene today. Her composition for soprano and orchestra, based on five spirituals, will bring this beloved music to life in a new way.

Ticket includes complimentary coffee & tea.

This concert is 60 minutes. No intermission.

Robert Franz,  conductor
