English Trifle

The Oregon Mozart Players, conducted by Glen Cortese, presents “English Trifle.” Like the famous dessert, our concert is a delicious, multi-layered concoction of chamber orchestra music with a British flavor. Alice Blankenship is the featured violin soloist in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ lyrical The Lark Ascending. The concert also includes Mozart’s Symphony No. 1, written during a visit to London, as well as Haydn’s final symphony, the “London,” plus works by British composers Gustav Holst and Edward Elgar.
