PREFONTAINE

Paul Koneri

Approved

The audience at the June 2022 premiere of Oregon composer David Schiff’s PREFONTAINE was thrilled and moved to tears, so we are proud to present this encore performance as we celebrate the life and legacy of legendary runner Steve Prefontaine. At the top of the program, we’ll hear Andrea Reinkemeyer's stunning Water Sings Fire. In between, Francesco will play harpsichord as he and the orchestra accompany two of his favorite musicians with whom to collaborate: harpist Chloe Tula in George Frideric Handel’s blissful Harp Concerto and Concertmaster Searmi Park in Antonio Vivaldi’s bustling Violin Concerto.

Join us at 6:30pm for the Guild Legacy Pre-Concert Talk, a casual 30-minute talk with Music Director & Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong and guests. Location: Hult Center Studio. Free for all ticketholders.

This concert will be broadcast on KWAX 91.1 on Friday, November 10, at 10 am.
