The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, based in Ithaca, will welcome spring with their bright “Eastern Bloc” program on April 23. The orchestra promises a “musical potpourri” of strings, piano and wind instruments, played by members and friends of the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra.
“Eastern Bloc” will kick off with the Arensky Piano Trio No.1 performed by Christina Bouey, Rosemary Elliott and Charis Dimaras. The Ligeti Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintet will follow, played by Wendy Mehne, Paige Morgan, Sarah Chandler, Cathryn Gaylord and Madison Warren. Finally, instrumentalists from both previous performances will join with Diego Vásquez, Michael Sinicropi and Vadim Serebryany for Martinů’s La revue de cuisine.
Also known as “Ithaca’s Orchestra,” the CCO has been running since 1976. The orchestra runs multiple programs for students, including their Youth Orchestra and Diversity Career Fellowship program which provides opportunities in classical music for historically underrepresented students.
Tickets for the show on April 23 are $38.50 for adults and $12 for students with college ID. They can be purchased here, or at the door.
