The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra presents "Spirals"

The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra brings its tenth concert season to a close in a celebration of new life, heroism, and women with "Spirals." On May 7, the eve of Mothers Day, the program begins at 7:00 PM at Transfiguration Episcopal Church in San Mateo; on Mothers Day itself, the concert starts at 4:00 PM at First Presbyterian Church in Palo Alto.

Featured on the program are three works by women: Adrienne Alberts stirring Courage fanfare; the dramatic 1873 Faust concert overture by Emilie Mayer, whose music is finally being widely played; and Spirals for solo strings and recorded music by the celebrated Icelandic composer Maria Huld Markan. Arvo Pärt's achingly beautiful Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten features the strings, and the 1916 First Symphony (the Classical) of Sergei Prokofiev shows the astonishing brilliance and maturity of the young Ukranian composer.

You won't want to miss Spirals as New Millennium celebrates on Mother's Day weekend!

This concert will also be performed at 7 pm on May 7th at Transfiguration Episcopal Church in San Mateo.
