Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

with Stanford Olsen, tenor

Friday, FEBRUARY 2 • 8 pm

Spaulding Auditorium
$45 • Dartmouth students $5

Due to illness preventing him from traveling to the United States, tenor Ian Bostridge is unable to perform with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra this evening. Benjamin Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op. 31 will be sung instead by Stanford Olsen.

Mr. Olsen will also conduct tomorrow's scheduled master class at 11 am in Spaulding Auditorium, which is free and open to the public.

Like the Orpheus of myth, whose exquisite sounds enraptured both humans and gods, the award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra creates magnificent music. Performing with no conductor—a feat it's perfected over a 32-year history—Orpheus is adored in distinguished concert halls everywhere, including its annual Carnegie Hall series. The Orchestra is joined at the Hop by celebrated American tenor Stanford Olsen. Olsen joins Orpheus in a performance of Britten's darkly atmospheric Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. The Orchestra also plays Martinů's Serenade and Mozart's beloved Serenade in D Major, K. 320, “Posthorn.”
