Two masterpieces are featured in this concert by maverick composers. First, Poulenc’s Sinfonietta is a delightful and brilliant work of contrasts and beauty, with a musical language at once accessible yet uniquely Poulenc.
Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto pushed the boundaries of the Classical concerto and influenced the style and form for centuries. This piece goes beyond the traditional feature of a soloist with orchestra accompaniment and becomes a musical statement of heroic achievement. Be sure to hear our conductor’s pre-concert lecture as he shares insights on how these works are truly maverick masterpieces.

As a soloist, Amy is addicted to the thrill of performing with orchestra. Since 2016, concerto repertoire, similar to chamber music but on steroids, has forced her to push her limits, helping make her into the confident and electrifying player she always hoped to be. She has appeared as soloist with the Symphony of the Kootenays, the Russian Chamber Orchestra and the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra. Her intense love of chamber music has led her to more fully admire and explore her favorite composers while sharing the experience with countless inspiring, dedicated players and appreciative audiences.
