Espressivo Ensemble Concert on November 8th!

Renowned pianist, Peter Serkin, Grammy award-winner and multiple nominee, will add Espressivo to the list of orchestras with which he has soloed in the past sixty years, including the major ones on three continents. He will join Espressivo in Bach’s d-minor keyboard concerto, with augmented orchestral accompaniment based on Mr. Serkin’s original research. The wind section of Espressivo will play a second arrangement by Mr. Serkin, of a Mozart piano duet.

In a program that consists of selections with more than one creator, the orchestra will also play Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Charles Wuorinen’s arrangement of John Bull’s organ composition “Salve Regina,” and Arnold Schoenberg’s reduction for six instruments of Johann Strauss’s “Lagoons” Waltz.

Espressivo, a small, intense orchestra of local professional musicians was founded in 2015 by Michel Singher after an illustrious career as an internationally renowned conductor of major symphonies and opera companies. He retired to Santa Cruz and put his considerable lifetime talents to use by founding Espressivo. Now in its fourth season, Espressivo has an impressive track record, having received consistently glowing reviews for their performances and an increasingly larger and loyal audience.
This concert will take place at Peace United Church in Santa Cruz on Thursday evening, November 8th, at 7 pm. Tickets can be purchased at www.EspressOrch.org, and, as long as seats are available, at the door.
