The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Bach’s “Brandenburg” Concertos with Richard Egarr

Continuing our annual holiday tradition, the
SPCO presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s most cherished set of orchestral works,
the Brandenburg Concertos. Artistic Partner Richard Egarr leads these
enduring Baroque masterpieces with the virtuosity of the SPCO musicians on full
display as soloists in five of the six concertos.

Beethoven, Ginastera and Tower

Enjoy a spirited and intimate program featuring three works
for chamber ensemble. Ludwig van Beethoven’s cheerful Septet, written to
delight audiences, was one of his most popular works during his lifetime. Two
additional works, Alberto Ginastera’s *Impresiones de la Puna*
for Flute and String Quartet and Joan Tower’s *Island Prelude* for
Woodwind Quintet lean into lyricism, the latter having been inspired by Samuel
Barber’s beloved Adagio for Strings.
