蜜柚直播

About 200 people sat scattered throughout the sizable St. Andrew鈥檚 Episcopal Church main hall that Sunday afternoon in mid-March to hear the orchestra perform Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Fifth Symphony. And when it was over, the orchestra, like its counterparts in 蜜柚直播 and throughout the country, shuttered to wait out the pandemic that has put live entertainment on hold worldwide.

This weekend, the orchestra will tiptoe back when 16 members of its string section perform a concert of serenades by Mozart, Dvor谩k and Tchaikovsky. The ensemble will perform the concert without an audience at SaddleBrooke鈥檚 DesertView Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 17, and before an audience of no more than 50 on Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Southern 蜜柚直播 Arts & Cultural Alliance鈥檚 Catalyst Arts & Maker Space in the 蜜柚直播 Mall.

Both concerts will be livestreamed, although the SaddleBrooke one will be available only to those residents.

SASO Music Director said the players will be socially distanced and everyone on stage will wear masks in keeping with state and federal health guidelines. Audience members at the Catalyst concert will be required to wear masks.

The ensemble will perform the first movement of Mozart鈥檚 famous Serenade No. 13 in G major 鈥淓ine Kleine Nachtmusik,鈥� which Lerner has paired with serenades by Dvor谩k and Tchaikovsky that were composed a couple of years apart.

鈥淭hey go beautifully together. They are great pieces to be together,鈥� said Lerner, who returned to 蜜柚直播 last week after months of being stuck in his native Brazil.

Lerner conducts two orchestras in Brazil and had returned the day after SASO鈥檚 concert last March. When the coronavirus intensified last spring, the U.S. limited travel from Brazil and Lerner was forced to stay put.

This weekend鈥檚 concerts will be performed with no intermission. Tickets for the Catalyst concert are available on SASO鈥檚 website,
