Riverside Symphonia Concert New Hope PA

by 

Coming up in the 9:00 hour, I’ll be joined by violinist Kinga Augustyn and conductor Mariusz Smolij, who will fill us in on their upcoming concert with the Riverside Symphonia. The program will include violin favorites by Sarasate and Wieniawski, bookended by life-affirming serenades by Mozart and Dvořák. The performances will take place tomorrow night at 8, at St. Martin of Tours Church, in New Hope, Pa.

How good is Augustyn? Check out her recital videos on YouTube. Try this gorgeous Chopin Nocturne to start:

Otherwise, it’s all music of the Neo-Baroque – 20th and 21st century composers looking back to the 18th century – including Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ wacky reimaginings of the works of Henry Purcell, “Variations on a Theme by Couperin” by Hendrik Andriessen, Paul Dukas’ “Variations, Interlude and Finale on a Theme by Rameau,” and Julian Orbon’s “Concerto Grosso for String Quartet and Orchestra,” among others, this morning until 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.

If it ain’t Baroque, we fix it anyway, on Classic Ross Amico.
