The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra brings chamber music to the Como Lakeside Pavilion. Antonio Vivaldi’s Summer violin concerto from his iconic Four Seasons starts the performance off with the SPCO’s Nina Tso-Ning Fan as soloist. George Walker’s lush Lyric is dedicated to his grandmother who passed away a year before it was written. New music by the “alluring and “wildly inventive” (The New York Times) composer Viet Cuong conjures images of flight and the sense that we’ve been driven from our course but are now “circling back” to hopes and ideas deferred. Music by George Frideric Handel and Ludwig van Beethoven round out the performance.
