Review: SCHUBERT'S LITTLE C MAJOR SYMPHONY WITH RICHARD EGARR at Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

Artistic Partner Richard Egarr returns with a program that opens with works by British composers, including Benjamin Britten's evocative Serenade featuring tenor David Portillo and the SPCO's own Principal Horn, Jay Ferree. The concert bids farewell to England and continues with two beloved arias by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Finishing the program is Franz Schubert's "Little C Major" Symphony - a deceptive nickname - it was Schubert's first fully symphonic work with a substantial wind section.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is small but mighty! They did three concerts in three different locations throughout the Twin Cities. All three were well attended. I went on the last one that was held at the Saint Paul United Church of Christ. It was a beautiful space and perfect to hold a concert. The concert featured Principal Horn, Jay Ferree and tenor David Portillo who did a marvelous job and it was well received by the audience.
