Portland Chamber Music Festival: ECCO Jubilee

Happy birthday, East Coast Chamber Orchestra! PCMF is delighted to take part in this extraordinary ensemble’s 25th anniversary season. Edvard Grieg's beloved Holberg Suite, a stylized set of French Baroque dances, opens the festivities with neoclassical elegance and wit. Every great party needs a little drama, here provided by Franz Liszt's sensational tone poem Malédiction, followed by an intriguing violin duo. Antonín Dvořák's radiant Serenade for Strings sends off the season with a big, warm, exuberant embrace, filled with melodies that are among the greatest joys in all of chamber music.
