The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

Schumann’s Spring Symphony
Christian Zacharias, Conductor and Piano

The season finale features German music from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, including the rarely performed Piano Concerto in D Minor by C.P.E. Bach, performed by the SPCO’s newest artistic partner, Christian Zacharias. Zacharias will then take over as conductor as he directs Schumann’s Spring Symphony, a joyous, celebratory piece the composer wrote during a feverish burst of creativity after marrying composer and pianist Clara Wieck. It will be a truly festive way to end the SPCO’s 2009-10 season!
