The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes (OSFL) has announced its upcoming Chamber Music Series concert, “Music with Friends” on Jan. 26, set to take place at a new venue 360Aurora, located in Elmira Heights.
The artists performing at the “Music with Friends” concert include Laura Campbell in flute, Lesley McClelland in oboe, Richard MacDowell in clarinet, David Resig in bassoon, and Claire Tuxill McKenney in horn. Also, representing composers from various countries, the concert repertoire will include Petite Suite by Claude Debussy from France, Six Bagatelles by György Ligeti from Hungary, Quintett, Op. 79 by August Klughardt from Germany, and Summer Evening at Ile-Ife by Godwin Sadoh from Nigeria.
The OSFL offers four regular season full orchestra concerts, including a side-by-side Youth Orchestra and professional musician collaboration, a Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music Series, concerts by the Chorus of the Southern Finger Lakes, concerts by the Youth Orchestra, and educational concerts for children.
Under the guidance of distinguished Music Director and Conductor, Toshiyuki Shimada, the OSFL is a strong supporter of highlighting the musical achievements of young musicians with its own youth ensembles and the Hertzog Concerto & Aria Competition for young artists in grades 9 through 12. The OSFL often collaborates with regional cultural partners, artists, and like-minded organizations to advance their mutual artistic growth in the greater Elmira-Corning area.
Following the tradition of the Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music Series, oral program notes will be given by the musicians interspersed throughout the performance. The short format program (60 to 75 minutes) will be presented in an intimate, relaxed setting without intermission.
Doors will open at 6:30 PM and fans are advised to come early and bring friends to enjoy a delightful evening of wine, spirits and “Music with Friends.”
Tickets start at $25 and at $15 for college students with ID. Entry is free for all children under 18. Tickets for “Music with Friends” on Jan. 26 can be purchased online at their website, by calling 607 936 2873, or in person at the OSFL office, 49 Bridge Street, Corning, NY.
