NOCCO's season finale kicks off with contemporary American composer, Caroline Shaw's Entr'acte. This piece, inspired by the Menuet of Haydn's Op. 77, No. 2 String Quartet takes the listener "to the other side of Alice's looking glass, in a kind of absurd, subtle, technicolor transition". Following is Franz Krommer's playful Concerto No. 2 for Two Clarinets, Op. 91 performed by NOCCO clarinetists, Sean Osborn and Florie Rothenberg. The program concludes with Mendelssohn's ebullient Symphony No. 4, commonly known as the "Italian." Travel through Venice, Bologna, Florence, and Rome with the symphony described as "blue sky in A major” by Mendelssohn himself.
