One does not have to go very far in this community to find outstanding soloists. We are calling this event “SLO Stars.” Ever wonder what a cello and a wind orchestra would sound like? How about a piano and a wind orchestra or Respighi’s setting of ancient Renaissance tunes? An Italian composer will feature two of our own players in a wild clarinet duet with the Wind Orchestra, and we will close the concert with two movements of an incredible Russian symphony by Vasily Kalinnikov – sheer power and excitement!
