For the Reporter
The Auburn Symphony Orchestra presents Old World Masters, its first chamber series concert in Kent, on Friday, Nov. 21.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. at The First Christian Church of Kent, 11717 SE 240th, Kent.
The concert is sponsored in part by the Kent Arts Commission.
Four members of the Auburn Symphony will offer standard works that are at the core of the chamber repertoire. Also known as “The American Quartet,” Dvorak’s String Quartet in F Major was written when the composer was in the United States in the early 1890s. Haydn’s String Quartet in D Major is primarily referred to as The Lark because of the violin’s high bird-like melody at the very beginning. And Mozart’s String Quartet in B Flat Major is known as The Hunt because the music in the first movement was said to evoke the sound and the mood of the chase.
Founded in 1996, the fully-professional orchestra is led by Stewart Kershaw, internationally-renowned conductor and former music director of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra.
