Chamber Orchestra's "No Strings Attached"

AlistairWillis.com

This Friday at 6 and 8 p.m., the Illinois Symphony Chamber Orchestra's next concert takes place at the First Presbyterian Church in Springfield. 

Delight in the sounds of winds, brass, and percussion with no strings attached. From the Renaissance to the 20th Century, this performance has something for everyone including Gabrieli’s antiphonal Sonata pian’e forte, the sweet Serenade for Winds by Richard Strauss, Dukas’ brilliant Fanfare from La Peri, and Stravinsky’s serene Symphonies of Wind Instruments. To top it off, the satirical Little Threepenny Music of Kurt Weill makes for a mischievous night.
