Every March, the Washington Symphony Orchestra downsizes and offers an “Up Close & Personal” concert experience.
The annual Chamber Concert will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church, College and Wheeling streets, Washington. The concert is organized and conducted by William Galvin.
Fran Prus, WSO’s principal clarinetist, will be this year’s featured soloist. Prus, who has played with the WSO since its founding, will perform Mozart’s “Clarinet Concerto in A Major.”
In addition to the Mozart concerto, chamber works from Dvorak and Grieg will be featured. The Dvorak piece will be “Serenade No. 2, Op. 44,” which is one of the composer’s most popular and frequently performed chamber works. It features the winds, horns and low strings. The Grieg selection, “Holberg Suite, Op. 40,” also is written for all strings.
An arrangement for the flute quartet of Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” and a flute and jazz piano duo round out the program.
