October 18, 2018 - The Mariposa Symphony Orchestra, a program of the Mariposa County Arts Council, is excited to announce three very special chamber music concerts to be held at the Mariposa United Methodist Church (4991 6th Street) on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27 at 7:00 p.m. and a matinee concert at the Coulterville Methodist Church (10317 Stockton Street) on Sunday, October 28 at 2:00 p.m.
We are pleased to bring you these unique concerts while the Mariposa Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is on a brief hiatus to allow Founding Music Director/Conductor, Les Marsden, time to recover from surgery. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this limited opportunity to enjoy classical music in an intimate setting before the MSO resumes its regular season, with all the energy and excitement we’ve come to expect from them, soon.
The program for the upcoming October concerts includes:
Franz Danzi’s “Trio No. 2 in G major, Op. 71” performed by Sandra Stocking (flute), Cait Serpa (violin) and Zachary Hunsuck (cello)
Edvard Grieg’s “Hirtenknabe – Shepherd’s Boy,” “Einsamer Wanderer – Solitary Traveler” and “Elfentanz – Fairy Dance” performed by Peter Lindstrom (French horn), Jill Rowney (French horn) and Gay Dunn (cello)
Johann Joachim Quantz’s “Sonata in D Major” performed by Shirley Lay (flute), Sandra Stocking (flute), and Kathy Smith (flute)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “String Quartet No. 23 in F major” performed by Sally Martinez (violin), Bekah Fickling (violin), Elsie Hill (viola) and Gay Dunn (cello).
Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” from “The Planets, Op. 32” performed by Peter Lindstrom (French horn), Jill Rowney (French horn) and Gay Dunn (cello)
