The Corpus Christi Chamber Music Society presents Curtis On Tour, a program featuring extraordinary emerging professional artists performing alongside celebrated faculty from the famed Curtis Institute of Music on Saturday, Feb. 17, in Wolfe Recital Hall on Del Mar College’s Heritage Campus.
Renowned violinist Erin Keefe, concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra and Curtis faculty member, joins dynamic conductor, clarinetist and composer Osmo Vänskä and Curtis’ extraordinary emerging professional musicians for a tour of North America. Built around the octet version of Sibelius’ evocative tone poem En Saga, this eclectic program features cherished classics by Mozart and Sibelius, alongside striking early twentieth century works such as Dohnányi’s string trio, Serenade in C major, and Schulhoff’s fiery, folk-influenced Concertino for flute, viola and double bass. The performance is co-hosted by Del Mar College’s Department of Music. Tickets may be purchased through the CCCMS website at www.corpuschristichambermusic.org.
The performance is free to Del Mar College students with a valid I.D.
