PGSO announces new concert streaming

“Many orchestras are streaming concerts today. In fact, there are very few who are doing live concerts,” explains Teresa Saunders, General Manager for the Prince George Symphony Orchestra.

The first kicks off on Valentine’s Day with “Picturing Spring in Winter,” in which Maestro Michael Hall conducts two hauntingly beautiful pieces for winds and strings. The first, Siegfried Idyll by Richard Wagner was written for his wife’s birthday and was performed outside her bedroom as she awoke on the morning of her birthday. The second piece is thought to be one of the finest of compositions written for nine musicians: Nonet Op 139 by Josef Rheinberger.

The second concert is on March 7th and is a kinder concert for kids ages three to eight.

“String Beans is an absolutely delightful story about the life and death of a string bean. It goes into the life cycle of a string bean, about like is a garden and all the things that happen in garden life. Featuring two ballerinas. One is the string bean and one is the garden fairy.”

The trio concludes on March 13th with and all-strings concert featuring esu Joy of Man’s Desiring by J.S. Bach, Canon and Gigue by Johann Pachelbel, Rondeau from Abdelazer by Henry Purcell, Sinfonia in G, R 149 by Antoni Vivaldi, and Holberg Suite by Edvard Grieg.

Saunders says the concerts will give the audience an entirely new perspective of the orchestra as there will be five different camera angles.

Tickets go on sale Thursday.
