The question I am asked most often is which of our many concerts is our best. My answer is that all of our concerts are special, and each is thought of as our best. This season will be no exception. Programs will continue to feature our artist performers as soloists in concertos by Bach, Boccherini, Haydn, Hoffmeister and Shostakovich. We will finally offer a program dedicated to Russian music to satisfy requests by you, our audience. Tucked between well known compositions are exciting masterpieces by perhaps lesser known composers today who were giants in their own lifetime. Our October concert will feature gems by Poulenc, Janácek, Martinu and, as often heard on public radio; the “Petite Symphonie” by Charles Gounod. The family concert will feature, among other works, Peanuts® Gallery for piano and orchestra by Pulitzer Prize-Winning American composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich and other surprises. We are especially proud to include area Suzuki violin students in two of our concerts this season. When we perform at the Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls, we will include members of the Chippewa Falls High School Orchestra as well as the MJ Consort, Chippewa Falls’ own recorder ensemble. ECCO is proud to be part of the cultural fabric of west central Wisconsin and strives to provide quality, enjoyable experiences for its citizens by offering “Great Music in Small Packages.” Please join us as we begin our second decade!
