Sunday, September 29 at 5:00 PMPlaying Mozart, Brahms & Billy Childs
The famed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra returns with a program featuring a new piece by Billy Childs titled “Each Moment Is a New Discovery.” Critically acclaimed pianist, Garrick Ohlsson, joins Orpheus as a trusted Mozart partner hailed for his “muscular technique and the sensitivity and restraint with which he deploys it (The New York Times).”
Wise musicians understand that the future exists in the past. Just ask the young Brahms, who mined Handel (and Bach and Beethoven) to craft what he later called his “favorite work.” The even younger Mozart melded styles from near and far in his first truly brilliant piano concerto. Composer and six-time Grammy winner Billy Childs infuses classical traditions with his jazz roots in a new work.
Members of Orpheus first performed at the Morris Museum in October 2020 as part of the inaugural Lot of Strings Music Festival. The relationship continued in the spring of 2021, bringing in-person performances back to our outdoor venue. Now Orpheus regularly performs with their full ensemble in the intimacy of the Bickford Theatre to sold-out audiences.
