| The Metropolitan Orchestra |
The Metropolitan Orchestra performs on Sunday, March 4, at 7 p.m. "The evening begins with violinist Shawn Weil and oboist Ann Hommann performing Bach's Concerto for violin and oboe in c minor. Bach, who changed jobs a half-dozen times, frequently reworked his music in different forms, giving the avid Bach listener much occasion for déjà vu. The evening continues with Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, a powerful musical description of the breaking of the waves, and the overwhelming vastness of the cavern known as Fingal's Cave. The concert concludes with Beethoven's Fourth symphony. A work taut with muscular strength, propelled with unstoppable momentum and shot through with its composer's unmistakable stylistic fingerprints." The concert takes place at First Presbyterian Church in Kirkwood. For more information: metro-orch.org.
