SERENADE FOR STRINGS Sat May 10, 2025 7:30pm

From Baroque classics to modern-day melodies, the York Chamber Ensemble performs a strings-only concert showcasing the emotional and technical prowess of the instrument. Telemann’s Viola Concerto, one of the earliest for viola, blends elegance with lively dance rhythms, highlighting the instrument’s rich tones. Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings brings warmth and charm, weaving Bohemian folk-inspired dances with tender lyricism. Popper’s Requiem for Three Cellos is a richly expressive elegy that showcases the cello’s mournful beauty through interwoven lines of lyrical melancholy and poignant harmony. The program also includes the world premiere of a new commission by Canadian composer Matthew Todd, whose innovative soundscapes add a fresh, contemporary dimension to this diverse musical journey.
