CSO Presents Live Concerts And Digital Performance Of Dvorak String Serenade Friday, March 12, 2021 The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will present Dvorák String Serenade live at Signal Crest United Methodist on Thursday, March 18, and Friday, March 19, at 7 p.m. Patrons who prefer to experience the concert from home can also purchase access to a livestream of Thursday’s performance for $10 per household. The program will include Dvorák‘s joyous Serenade for Strings, one his most popular works, alongside Beethoven’s Duo For Clarinet And Bassoon and Poulenc’s Sonata For Clarinet and Bassoon. “For this concert, we are featuring two unique works for clarinet and bassoon duo by Poulenc and Beethoven,” said CSO Music Director Kayoko Dan. “The combination of these two instruments creates a unique blend and, at times, contrast of colors. In addition to the duos, we are performing Dvorák‘s Serenade for Strings. This work was written shortly after the birth of Dvorák‘s son, and it embodies beauty, optimism, playfulness, and elegance, which I believe is essential in our lives right now.”
