The New Century Chamber Orchestra honors community and tradition with a program of works by Dvorak, Britten, and Bartok, all strongly identified with the music of their native lands. We welcome rising young Bay Area stars Brian Thorsett and Kevin Rivard for the darkly poetic Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. The evening opens with Hugo Wolf's Italian Serenade, a favorite of audiences and musicians alike.
