Orchestral Chamber Concert

The Columbia Orchestra launches its 50th season with an elegant chamber-orchestra program featuring works by Fanny Mendelssohn, Edvard Grieg, and Franz Schubert. The concert begins with Mendelssohn’s poised and rarely performed *Overture in C major*, continues with Grieg’s string-centered *Holberg Suite*, and concludes with Schubert’s youthful *Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major*, composed when Schubert was nineteen.

After the performance, guests are invited to a champagne and dessert reception. Special guest speakers will offer celebratory toasts and share memories from the orchestra’s five-decade history.
