Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston Presents: Volcanic!

Our friends at Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston welcome Groupmuse community members back for a Night Out--our first since the pandemic. And we're thrilled! The matinee concert takes place on January 8th at the beautiful landmark Sanders Theater, with a program that will leave you erupting to your feet.

Conductor Emerita Gisèle Ben-Dor returns to lead Pro Arte in a sweeping program featuring American violinist Lucia Lin—a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a professor at Boston University. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Octet is a playful suite in the tradition of wind band music popular in Austria at the time. A century later, the Venezuelan-American composer Teresa Carreño wrote a Romantic take on the Classical suite during a stay in the Alps. Her intoxicating Serenade for strings conveys all the charm of the Austrian lakeside village where it was written. In the music of the contemporary composer J.P. Jofre, one hears the tango of his native Argentina alongside the jazz of New York City, where he now lives. His violin concerto Mauna Loa, co-commissioned by Lucia Lin, is a vibrant work capturing the immense power of the world’s largest active volcano.

Tickets to this event typically cost upwards of $40, but we've got them for only $20 a pop (and $15 for Supermusers!)

Groupmuse tickets buyers are instructed to pick up their tickets at will call table in the Sanders Theater lobby. As Sanders Theater will be assigning seats, groups wishing to sit together are instructed to purchase tickets under the same reservation.

Children years 10 of age or older welcomed.
