On Saturday, February 22, 2014, Maestro James Domine, Music Director of the SFVSO, presented The Esterhazy Chamber Orchestra of Calabasas in its first performance at Founders' Hall in Calabasas. To say it was a success would be an understatement!
The music performed by the 20-piece Orchestra included two pieces by Mozart: Symphony #1 in E-flat major; and the Violin Concerto #5 in A major, beautifully played by Concertmaster Ruth Bruegger. Also on the program were the Symphony #9 in C major by Haydn; Boccherini's Violoncello Concerto in B-flat major, featuring soloist par excellence Daniel Grab; and the inaugural performance of Domine's Sinfonietta in C major. At the conclusion, the full capacity audience stood and cheered the orchestra, the soloists, and the Maestro in recognition and gratitude. It was an evening to remember!
The Esterhazy Chamber Orchestra of Calabasas looks forward to performing in Founders' Hall in the near future, so stay tuned ......
