St. Paul Chamber Orchestra

In a program spanning just 38 years of music, Artistic Partner Jonathan Cohen shows off the expressive range and influence of an impressive group of composers. Works by Mozart flank a C.P.E. Bach cello concerto performed by SPCO Principal Cellist Julie Albers. Although we might think that C.P.E. lived in his father Johann Sebastian's shadow, during the late 18th century, Carl Philipp Emanuel's reputation surpassed that of his father. The program also includes the Surprise Symphony by Haydn, one of C.P.E. Bach's greatest admirers.
