On October 21, we open our season with a Gala concert – a cello
extravaganza featuring the award-winning Boston Cello Quartet.
Founded in 2010 by four cellists from the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
the BCQ has quickly won the hearts of music lovers through their
own arrangements of classical music, jazz, contemporary works, and
even comic medleys - all showcasing the limitless possibilities of the
instrument they love. The BCQ will then join Pro Arte cellists and
friends and the stunning soprano Barbara Quintiliani in Villa Lobos’
Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5. This rarely performed work for eight cellos
with soprano is not to be missed! A Gala reception follows - with
gourmet goodies, a raffle, and a chance to meet the artists!
Gregorian Rugs & The Scandinavian Cultural Center
Principal Conductor
Kevin Rhodes
A cure for the winter doldrums, our January concert showcases
Vivaldi’s only double concerto for trumpet, a bright and fantastic
fanfare; Grieg’s charming neo-Baroque suite From Holberg’s Time;
Ibert’s Divertissement, a festive selection of his music for Un chapeau
de paille d’Italie; and Bizet’s first symphony, the fresh and dazzling
Symphony in C. The concert will feature Pro Arte trumpeters Dana
Russian and Joseph Foley, all led by Pro Arte’s own dynamic principal
conductor Kevin Rhodes.
Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter”
Violinist
Haldan Martinson
For our final concert of the season we welcome back acclaimed
conductor and Boston Lyric Opera music director David Angus.
The program features Cambridge-based composer Howard Frazin’s
atmospheric overture In the Forests of the Night and Samuel Barber’s
lyrically sweet and elegant Violin Concerto, played by the brilliant
BSO principal second violinist Haldan Martinson. And as a fitting
conclusion to the season, Pro Arte will perform Mozart’s final
symphony, a showcase of the composer’s most adventurous, elegant,
and expressive compositional techniques.
Hear our fine Pro Arte musicians up close and join them in lively
roundtable discussions in comfortable, friendly surroundings on select
Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Check our website in the
fall for information about repertoire and players performing in these
intimate concerts.
Tickets for the Salon Series will be available via our Box Office phone
at 617-779-0900 and www.proarte.org starting September 1. Tickets
are $30 each - senior, student, and Access program discounts available!
