Benjamin SimonThe Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra and Music Director Benjamin Simon give a nod to the holidays this Saturday with Arcangelo Corelli's perennial Christmas Concerto. But the group also has programmed Britten's fantastic Lachrymae, based on the John Dowland song, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2 (the “Little Russian”), a work that doesn't get performed nearly often enough, considering how good it is. A concert filled with beautiful music is welcome at any time of year. Don't overlook this gem.
