SPRING SERENADE Chamber Concert

Spring Serenade invites you into an evening of chamber music that celebrates collaboration, artistry, and the shared joy of making music at the highest caliber. This concert is part of the Alhambra Orchestra’s For the Love of Music initiative, a vision that brings together the orchestra’s professional musicians with distinguished guest artists from Miami’s vibrant musical community to elevate both repertoire and performance.

At the heart of the program is the rarely heard original chamber version of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, a work of luminous clarity and quiet power. Scored for a small ensemble, this version reveals the music’s transparency and emotional nuance, demanding exceptional sensitivity and musicianship. To honor the depth and technical challenges of this masterpiece, the orchestra is joined by renowned professional musicians whose artistry brings this iconic work vividly to life.

The program continues with chamber works that highlight warmth, lyricism, and expressive beauty. Elgar’s beloved Serenade for Strings offers sweeping romanticism, while Nimrod provides a moment of noble reflection. A special arrangement from Mozart’s The Magic Flute features principal flutist Carol Naveira-Nicholson alongside the orchestra’s wind players, adding sparkle and elegance to the evening.

The concert culminates in a virtuosic finale as Maestro Daniel Andai, violin, is joined by acclaimed pianist Ciro Fodere in Mendelssohn’s lyrical Concerto for Violin and Piano. Brimming with charm and youthful energy, this rarely performed gem provides a thrilling close to a program built on collaboration, excellence, and a shared love of music.
