Event Description:
The Evergreen Chamber Orchestra's 2023-2024 Season Opener Concert features an eclectic program from Scott Joplin to Haydn and even two local Colorado Composers — there’s something for everyone!
Scott Joplin, known as the “King of Ragtime”, took the rag – then known primarily as “lowly saloon music played by wandering honky-tonk pianists” – and elevated it to the level of classical art music meant for the concert hall. ECO will perform two of his best-known works – the “Maple Leaf Rag” and “The Entertainer”.
ECO cellist James Todd has served as principal cellist with the Arapahoe Philharmonic in Denver, Colorado, and has performed with many area music ensembles including the Colorado Symphony, Colorado Ballet, Boulder Philharmonic, Colorado Chamber Players. ECO is proud to be performing his composition “New Day” for our 2023-2024 Season Opener.
Colorado composer Cindi Hsu’s music is noted for its richness in color, expressive melodic lines and open sincerity. ECO will be performing her work “Once Upon a Time” for our 2023-2024 Season Opener – a continuation of our collaborations over the past several seasons.
ECO cellist Mike Marecak has arranged one of Vivaldi’s Concertos for Four Violins into a Concerto for Four Cellos – we hope you enjoy the fruits of his labor as much as we have! This performance will feature ECO’s unique all-principal cello section – Mike Marecak, Shirley Marecak, James Todd, and Marilyn Hof.
Affectionately known as “Papa Haydn”, Franz Joseph Haydn's music is filled with humor, practical jokes, and creative uses of the classical sonata form. The “Drum Roll” Symphony No. 103, H. 103, was one of the later of the twelve “London Symphonies” Haydn composed between 1791 and 1795. Nicknamed for the long timpani roll that begins the symphony, this is one of Haydn’s most popular and widely-performed works and concludes ECO's 2023-2024 Season Opener.
