Bard: Symphony Chamber Orchestra Pianist Blanca Uribe Weber Beethoven MendelssohnThe February concerts of the American Symphony Chamber Orchestra (ASCO) 2002-03 Bard-Vassar series will feature performances of works by Weber, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn. The Friday, February 14, concert will be held in Olin Hall, Bard College; the Saturday, February 15, concert will be held in Skinner Hall, Vassar College. Both concerts are under the direction of Maestro Leon Botstein. The programs are presented by The Bard Center and begin at 8:00 p.m., with preconcert talks at 7:00 p.m.Pianist Blanca Uribe will be the featured soloist in the performance of Beethoven's Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, "Emperor." Other works to be performed include Carl Maria von Weber's Oberon Overture and Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A Major, "Italian." "What a pleasure it is to play once again with the ASCO and Leon," says pianist Uribe. "Always, I look forward to these occasions with great anticipation, and they are also great fun. 'The Emperor' has been part of my repertoire for so many years, and each time I perform it, it's like coming back to visit a very dear friend. And as with all the great pieces of music, each time you play it you discover something new, hear something new, and, hopefully, always perform it better." The final concerts of the series, on April 18 and 19, will feature Mozart's Concerto No. 9 in E-flat Major, "Jeunehomme," with pianist Todd Crow; Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, "Unfinished"; John Woolrich's Ulysses Awakes; and the world premiere of Richard Wilson's Peregrinations for viola and orchestra. The Woolrich and Wilson works will feature violist Paul Silverthorne. The American Symphony Chamber Orchestra is comprised of many of the best American Symphony Orchestra (ASO) musicians. The ASO was formed in 1962 by Leopold Stokowski with a stated mission to "perform concerts of great music within the means of everyone." Today, under music director Leon Botstein (who assumed the post in 1992), that mission has broadened to include the goal of revitalizing the concertgoing experience as a vibrant force in contemporary culture. Each year, the Bard-Vassar Concerts include several performances of superlative chamber music, featuring works of contemporary composers together with classics of the chamber repertoire.
