The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Mozart’s 40th Symphony with Dmitry Sinkovsky

"Bounding with talent and oozing charisma" (“Pioneer Press”),
violinist and conductor Dmitry Sinkovsky returns to the Twin Cities this spring
to lead the SPCO in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's famed 40th symphony. The dramatic
passion of the symphonic work makes for a stunning finale of a concert
featuring Baroque works by Mozart's predecessors, George Frideric Handel and
Antonio Vivaldi.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Bruch and Korngold with Tabea Zimmermann

Artistic Partner Tabea Zimmermann teams up with Principal Clarinet Sang
Yoon Kim in a double concerto full of rhapsodic, Romantic flourish and lush
harmonies that intertwine with the sound of the full orchestra. Dedicated to
his son, clarinetist Max Felix Bruch, Max Bruch’s Double Concerto promises to
grip and transfix audiences alongside smaller symphonic works by Germanic
composers.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Sang Yoon Kim Plays Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto

SPCO Principal Clarinet Sang Yoon Kim performs one of the most beloved pieces in classical music, finished just weeks before Mozart’s death and often referred to as the composer’s swan song. In this concerto, the clarinet embodies different
characters in dialogue with each other, leaping from the instrument’s deepest
registers to its brightest, much like the human voice. Just as in Joseph
Haydn’s Symphony No. 67, there is a delightful, airy sense of humor, charm and buoyancy
that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

EXPRESS CONCERT: Bach’s First Orchestral Suite

Escape into an energizing and playful Express Concert

surprises from later eras — offering a fresh, toe-tapping journey through
centuries of expressive sound. With SPCO musicians and the warm, inviting voice
of Principal Bassoon Andrew Brady leading the way as the program’s creative
lead, it’s the perfect blend of elegance and fun.
