Odeon Gala Concert
“Italian Seasonal Favorites”
On Saturday, March 28, the sparkling and effervescent music of the Italian Baroque era comes to life for the Mason Chamber Music Festival's Tenth Anniversary Gala Concert. The Artisan Chamber Players, which includes the members of the Artisan String Quartet and six world class guest artists, including special guest violist Scott Haupert from Mason, will present an evening of “Italian Seasonal Favorites” at the Odeon Theater.
The Artisan Chamber Players and solo violinist Patrice Calixte will perform Antonio Vivaldi’s timeless classic “The Four Seasons” and Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto Grosso Opus 6, No. 4. Corelli and Vivaldi are perhaps the two most famous Italian composers, and this unforgettable Gala Concert will show those fortunate enough to attend this milestone in the Mason Chamber Music Festival’s existence just why!
