Atlantic Classical Orchestra Presents
Series II
Kernis, Musica Celestis
Mendelssohn, Double Concerto
Christopher, O'Riley, Piano
Caroline Goulding, Violin
Arriaga, Symphony in D
Two little-known masterpieces paired with a newly minted classic! Known as the “Spanish Mozart,” Arriaga was a child prodigy who wrote his Symphony (1825) shortly before his death at the age of 19. Aaron Jay Kernis’ Musica Celestis is often compared to Barber’s Adagio for Strings and is a short, soulful work for string orchestra.
