Clinton, NY – Hamilton College Performing Arts presents the Syracuse Orchestra on Sunday, February 15 at 3 pm in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center. Maurice Cohn conducts a concert inspired by love. The concert opens with Missy Mazzoli’s These Worlds in Us, expressing the love of a daughter for her father. Then Jiebing Chen, performing on the
traditional Chinese instrument the erhu, joins for The Butterfly Lovers concerto, originally written for violin and based on a Chinese folklore love story. The Syracuse Orchestra finishes the program with the Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov, telling the story of “One Thousand and One Nights.”
The Syracuse Orchestra (previously known as Symphoria) was formed in late 2012 as a musician-led cooperative orchestra, one of only two in the United States. This business model is designed to be artistically excellent, administratively lean, and financially resilient. The orchestra presents more than 50 concerts and reaches 100,000 people annually in venues ranging from libraries and health care facilities to public parks, churches, museums, and our home venue, the Crouse-Hinds Theater at the Civic Center.
The Syracuse Orchestra is composed of a diverse group of talented musicians hailing from all across the globe, bringing with them a breadth of musical talent that extends far beyond the Syracuse community. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for students. For more information, call the box office at (315) 859-4331 or visit http://www.hamilton.edu/performingarts. This performance is
funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.
