Margaret Batjer Director of Chamber Music
Immerse yourself in the majesty of the string orchestra in this program of rich and varied compositions programmed by LACO Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer. Spanning more than 800 years, the works include 12th century German Saint Hildegard Von Bingen’s “O Virtus Sapientiae ”; Britten’s lovely Simple Symphony, rife with sophisticated orchestration; the compact but lively 10th Symphony in B minor written by a teenaged Mendelssohn; Hindemith’s compelling Five Pieces for Strings; and Grieg’s popular Holberg Suite, which sits at the intersection of baroque-style dance and Nordic melodic harmonies and treatments.
Masterworks for String Orchestra at Rothenberg Hall is made possible from generous contributions from June + Simon Li, Allan + Muriel Kotin, and Anne + Jeffrey Grausam.
Questions about tickets or subscriptions for this season? Our box office can be reached Monday through Friday, 12-5pm at 213-221-3920 or at boxoffice@laco.org.
