If two is company and three is a crowd, what do you call a concert with five soloists? It’s nothing short of an extravaganza, highlighting the incredible local talent within the Chamber Orchestra’s ranks.

In addition to Giuseppe Valentini’s famous concerto grosso – a Baroque musical form that contrasts a small group of soloists with the full orchestra, this performance will also feature the journey of a soul’s enlightenment from the satirical depiction of war in Henrich von Biber’s “Battalia” to the beginning of spiritual awakening in Eleanor Alberga’s “Sun Warrior”. Rounding out the program is the only symphony written by the “Spanish Mozart”, Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga.

The silence we leave behind and the words we wish we’d spoken – Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms is a mournful, deeply personal elegy for strings that is dedicated to the fearless composer’s late mother and based on the poetry of Thich Nhat Hanh.

The journey continues through the sparkling soundscapes of Nicky Sohn’s guitar concerto, written as a showcase for Bokyung herself, and concludes with the harmonic perfection of Mozart: an eight-movement serenade that is a world all its own.

The winner of our 2025 Emerging Soloist Competition takes the stage for one of the most blisteringly virtuosic pieces of music in all the piano repertoire.

Nothing short of Beethoven’s best overture will do to open the concert, and we’ll close with the music of the oft-overlooked Emilie Mayer – frequently called the “female Beethoven” for her depth of Romantic feeling and lyricism.
