An unexpectedly musical evening
Sep. 27th, 2005 09:01 pmI received an email today from Chicago Opera Theatre, announcing a performance tonight of the Chicago College of Performing Arts Chamber Orchestra, with David Schrader. Since I'm a great admirer of Schrader (harpsichordist, pianist, organist), and the program was heavy on Mozart (the "Haffner" Symphony and the Piano Concerto No. 9 in E flat major, along with Ginastera's Variaciones concertantes), of course I went. The students did a very creditable job, and Schrader, on fortepiano, was marvelous.
