February 2021 Concert
Music by American and French composers comprise a program highlighting the virtuosity of Sophie Webber, formerly of the Music Institute of Chicago. She will perform both a pillar of the cello repertory by Saint-Saéns and a recent work evoking the river which flows through Cambridge, England by the popular American composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. The program opens with a 1955 overture by Illinois-born Ron Nelson and closes with the ballet created in 1938 using the best tunes of Jacques Offenbach, including the “Can-Can” from Orpheus in the Underworld and the “Barcarolle” from The Tales of Hoffman.
