SOR Concert November 19, 2023 / UM Music Recital Hall – 4:00 pm

MUSICAL STARS AND STRING SERENADES
November’s concert showcases the outstanding talents of Montana’s musical string stars. Margaret Baldridge and Adam Collins, two of UM’s pre-eminent string pedagogues and esteemed leaders in the Missoula musical community, are featured as soloists in the virtuosic Vivaldi Double Concerto, followed by Antonín Dvorák’s beloved Serenade for Strings. Exceptional young string players from UM and several high schools in Montana join us for this masterpiece in our annual “Rising Stars” side-by-side performance. Our program also features the jazzy rhythms and appealing melodies of the Swedish composer Dag Wirén in his rarely heard Serenade for Strings.
