Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Stella Chen Seasons of Change

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Stella Chen Seasons of Change

Renowned for their collaborative spirit, the GRAMMY Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is considered one of the world’s finest chamber orchestras, performing with “edge-of-the-seat intensity” and displaying an “infectious love for making music” (The New York Times) Performing without a conductor, Orpheus is a radical experiment in musical democracy, proving for over fifty years what happens when exceptional artists gather with total trust in each other and faith in the creative process. A standard-bearer of innovation and artistic excellence, they perform annually at Carnegie Hall and have become a global sensation with tours of Europe and Asia. Violinist and Gramophone Young Artist of the Year Stella Chen ventures into the sultry, scintillating tango atmosphere of Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. Tune into hidden nuances in the wondrous counterpoint of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and let the richness of the Orpheus strings carry you on a timeless reverie through Villa-Lobos’ Aria from Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5.
