ABOUT THE EVENT

Amici Strings, a new ensemble of 23 local musicians, 6 from Phoenixville, will have its first concert at Wayne United Methodist Church on Friday, August 7, at 7:30 p.m. The orchestra was founded by Alice Pavri, a Kimberton music teacher. The free concert will include the Concerto for Strings in c minor by Vivaldi, Elgar’s romantic Serenade, Dag Wiren’s sprightly March, and the Capriol Suite by the elusive Peter Warlock. Carl Nielsen’s Little Suite for String Orchestra will close the evening. Conductor Stuard Young calls Nielsen’s piece, “the most important Opus 1 I know. The young composer burst upon the Danish music scene with a piece of such richness and strength that once known, the melodies cannot be forgotten.” The concert will be followed by a reception.
