The Santa Barbara Chamber Players invite local music lovers to an evening of Romantic-era orchestral music, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31 at Hahn Hall, 1070 Fairway Road.

Under the baton of Zig Reichwald, the orchestra will perform “Symphony No. 3 in A minor ‘Scottish’” by Felix Mendelssohn, and the “Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54” by Robert Schumann, featuring pianist Pascal Salomon as soloist.

The orchestra will be joined by select local high school students, performing side-by-side with the orchestral musicians in a unique educational collaboration.

Inspired by a visit to Scotland in 1829, Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony reflects the rugged landscapes, misty highlands, and historical romance he encountered there. Although the ideas came to him early, the work took over a decade to complete and was premiered in 1842.

One of the most poetic piano concertos in the repertoire, Schumann’s “Piano Concerto” began life as a single-movement fantasy for piano and orchestra in 1841, written for his wife Clara, one of the great pianists of the 19th century, Santa Barbara Chamber Players said.

Expanded into a full three-movement concerto by 1845, the work is celebrated for its intimate dialogue between soloist and orchestra, expressive lyricism, and passionate Romantic spirit.

Tickets are $20 for general admission, $15 for college students with ID, and free admission for students 18 years and younger.
