    The program features a 17-member conductorless string orchestra with founding Music Director and guest concertmaster Stuart Canin. Stuart Canin, founding Music Director and concertmaster of the New Century Chamber Orchestra, returns to lead the orchestra in a thrilling evening of NCCO specialties. Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony for Strings was featured on the Grammy nominated NCCO recording, Written with the Heart’s Blood. This dark and terrifying piece is followed by Mendelssohn’s delightful Octet for Strings, which he composed at the young age of 16.

    Mr. Canin, currently the concertmaster of the Los Angeles Opera, has been charming audiences for over half a century. At the end of World War II, he was selected to perform for President Truman, Josef Stalin, Winston Churchill, and other world leaders at Potsdam. He has been recorded on numerous films, including Forrest Gump, Schindler’s List, and Titanic. Mr. Canin is the former concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony and the San Francisco Opera, first prize winner of the Paganini International Violin Competition, and winner of the Handel Medal, New York City’s highest cultural award.

    Program:  Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219, Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony for Strings, Op. 110a  and Mendelssohn's Octet for Strings, Op. 20.
