The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra

The SPCO's talented wind section gets to show off their virtuosity in two chamber music works for winds, Hertel's Concerto a cinque and Gounod's charming Petite symphonie. The strings get to close out the concert with Dvorak's pastoral Serenade for Strings. The full orchestra joins forces at the center of this program as SPCO violinist Maureen Nelson takes center stage for Ralph Vaughan Williams' iconic The Lark Ascending, based on the George Meredith poem of the same name.
