The PCO's "Grand European Tour" season concert finale April 10, 2011

The Pennsylvania Centre Chamber Orchestra concludes its 2010-2011 concert series “The Grand European Tour” Sunday, April 10th at 3pm at Grace Lutheran Church located in downtown State College with a program that will include Bach’s Orchestra Suite No. 1 in C Major, Salieri’s Sinfonia Veneziana, and the highlight of the concert, Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major performed by world-renowned cellist Kim Cook, Professor of Cello at Penn State. The orchestra will also perform Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in G Minor accompanied by a group of more than 30 Young Suzuki Violinists.

In the words of Music Director and Maestro Douglas Meyer, “We are going to take advantage of the excellent 'Baroque acoustics' of Grace Lutheran Church with music of Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart's so-called nemesis Antonio Salieri,” promising an exceptional afternoon of classical music along with the opportunity to appreciate a truly magnificent performance by Ms. Cook who has been hailed as “the superb American cellist.”
