SLSO chamber series adds another performance
of December's Riley/Glass program


Terry Riley, composer of In C

The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's new chamber series featuring music from modern composers performed at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts has proved successful enough that an additional performance of December's program has been scheduled.

Philip Glass' compositions "1 + 1" and "Music in Similar Motion" and Terry Riley's "In C" will now be performed beginning at 7:30 p.m. on both Wednesday, December 7 and Thrusday, December 8. SLSO music director David Robertson will conduct an ensemble including Amy Oshiro and Shawn Weil, violin; Mo Jacobs, viola; Sarah Hogan, double bass; Jennifer Nitchman, flute; Carolyn Landis, horn; George Berry and Felicia Foland, bassoon, and Barbara Liberman, piano.

It looks like the SLSO has also added a second performance of the April program, which will feature works by John Cage, Frederic Rzewski, Eric Satie and Charles Amirkhanian. Tickets are on sale now for $20 each, and seating is limited; you can find out more here.
