Shift, Change, Turn, and Variations

SPCO Concertmaster Steven Copes takes center stage in Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata, heard here in an innovative new arrangement for violin and orchestra by former SPCO Artistic Partner Stephen Prutsman. The program opens with a Midwest premiere by rising American composer and frequent SPCO collaborator Jessie Montgomery. The SPCO strings shine on the second half of the program in a performance of Tchaikovsky’s momentous and emotional Serenade for Strings.

This concert will also feature a short performance by musicians from the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies’ Harmony program which serves students at Riverview Elementary on the West Side.
