2. IRIS Orchestra, The Company We Keep

The Sinfonia Concertante is a quintessential Haydn masterpiece: sparkling, challenging, joyous. The solo turns for violin, cello, oboe and bassoon become perfect vehicles for the inspiring virtuosity of the members of IRIS. The orchestra welcomes back a treasured member of the IRIS family: Jonathan Leshnoff's beautiful and expressively original music has been part of the IRIS performing and recording repertoire since 2005; IRIS commissioned and premiered his ebullient, energetic Rush in 2009. Concluding the program is another beloved friend: the pastoral Second Symphony of Brahms, which IRIS last played almost 10 years ago, one of the greatest achievements in Western music.
