The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra continues to explore new ways to serve

our shared community through innovative programming, exciting guest artists, and

new collaborations and partnerships. By expanding our concert season, actively

engaging a more diverse audience, and seeking new avenues to interact with our

existing supporters, we strive to continue earning our place as one of the flagship arts

organizations in the greater Ithaca region.

Our Orchestral Series will delight you with renown soloists such as Shai

WoSner and Jennifer Montone mixed in with rising young stars including guitar-

ist Jordan dodSon. Music by Beethoven, Joan Tower, Schubert, Britten, Fauré and

a brand new work by Christopher Cerrone will showcase the versatility and artistic

reach of the CCO. The family-friendly Holiday Pops concert returns and is included in

the Orchestral Series subscription package.

Shai Wosner Plays Mozart7:30pm / Ford Hall, Ithaca College

MOZ ART: Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467JOAN TOWER: Chamber DanceCHRISTOPHER CERRONE: Dissolving Margins

Sh a i WoSn er , piano

MOZ ART: Symphony No. 41 in C Major, K. 551 ”Jupiter”

Critical acclaim and an ever-growing fan base follow

Shai Wosner everywhere his international career takes

him. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear him play not one, but two concerti! The

Cerrone was completed only months ago, and with his “keen musical mind and deep

musical soul” Wosner’s interpretation of Mozart will leave a lasting impression.

Holiday Pops3:00pm / Kulp Auditorium, Ithaca High School

Enjoy some of our favorite music of the holiday season

as we bring together some of our wonderful collabo-

rators from the past, PLUS the entire Cayuga Chamber

Orchestra! This family-friendly event will feature stu-

dents from Ithaca Talent Education (ITE), The Ithaca

Children & Youth Chorus, our recent Youth Concerto Competition winners and

more. Join us for this very special community celebration.

Uncommon Ensembles3:00pm / First Unitarian Church, Ithaca

BEETHOVEN: String Quintet, Op 29 CASELL A: Serenata, Op 46

Featuring unusual combinations of instruments, this

program begins with a quintet (string quartet plus a

second viola) that shows once again, how very masterful

Beethoven could be. Italian composer Alfredo Casella created a truly delightful work

using the unique combination of violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, and trumpet.

Family Concert & Storytime4:00pm / Tompkins County Public Library, Ithaca

Celebrating our sixth season, our Family Concert &

Storytime events at TCPL continue to pack the room!

Combining live music, narrated children’s books, and a

chance for children to try out the instruments with the

help of our CCO musicians, we’re enormously pleased

to continue this popular series in partnership with

Tompkins County Public Library. Free admission is made

possible by our generous sponsors (Tompkins County

Public Library and Music Performance Trust Fund).

Fauré in Fall3:00pm / First Unitarian Church, Ithaca

GAUBERT: Trois Aquarelles for Flute, Cello and PianoPROKOFIEV: Sonata for Two Violins, Op 56FAURÉ: Piano Quartet No. 2 in G Minor, Op 45These three works, representing very different styles,

were written within a short 40 year span. Gaubert and

Prokofiev’s pieces have deceptively simple titles for such

intricate works. The Fauré quartet is an especially significant contribution with a slow

movement that is one of the most beautiful ever written by this composer.

La Bohème (semi-staged)7:30pm Sat. and 3:00pm Sun. / Ford Hall, Ithaca College

PUCCINI : La Bohème (concert version)

Co - produC t ion W i t h oper a it h aC a

We collaborate for the very first time with Opera Ithaca,

in a concert version of La Bohème, a tragic love story

that continually draws new fans with every generation.

We won’t need elaborate sets and costumes to transport

you into the world Puccini created with his beloved score. Subscribers have the chance to add this special event to any subscription package

before tickets go on sale to the general public!

Simply Strings7:30pm / Ford Hall, Ithaca College

BRIT TEN: Simple SymphonyVAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Fantasia on a Theme by

Thomas TallisPÄRT: Tabula Rosa

ENESCU: Romanian Rhapsodyir in a Mur eS a nu , v io l in

We welcome Irina Muresanu whose playing has been described

as “magical virtuosity.” Joining her is our award-winning concertmaster Christina Bouey.

They’ll lead our strings in this colorful and evocative program, with students from the

Cornell University Orchestra sharing the stage for the Vaughan Williams.

Family Concert & Storytime4:00pm / Tompkins County Public Library, Ithaca

Celebrating our sixth season, our Family Concert & Storytime

events at TCPL continue to pack the room! Combining live

music, narrated children’s books, and a chance for children

to try out the instruments with the help of our CCO musi-

cians, we’re enormously pleased to continue this popular series in partnership with

Jen n ifer Mon ton e , horn

BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op 92We are thrilled to feature Grammy Award winner Jennifer

Montone, principal horn of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In

high demand as a soloist, the NY Times has heralded her

“flawless horn solos… and warm and noble sound.” With Beethoven’s compelling

and unforgettable Symphony No. 7, this is a concert not to be missed!

ARRIAGA: Los esclavos felices PIAZOLL A: OblivionRODRIGO: Concerto de Aranjuez

Jor da n dodSon , gui tar

SCHUBERT: Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, D 485Jordon Dodson, “one of the top young guitarists of his gener-

ation,” will bring a fresh perspective to the incredibly popular

Aranjuez concerto. Known as the best of his “early” symphonies, Schubert’s Symphony

No. 5 will provide a magnificent conclusion to our Orchestral Series.

Dvorak & Harbison 3:00pm / First Unitarian Church, Ithaca

DVOR AK: Piano Trio No. 2, Op 26HARBISON: Quintet for WindsDvorak’s second piano trio is a wonderful study of charac-

ter and contrast with hints of his popular Slavonic Dances

that would soon follow. John Harbison composed his quin-

tet seeking to achieve a “classical simplicity.” This work has

become immensely popular among musicians and audiences alike.

Center Stage Brass 3:00pm / First Baptist Church, Ithaca

Orleans Rhythm Kings.
