Season Finale – YuEun Gemma Kim, violin

Underwritten by a generous gift from Anne K. Costin

Our season finale opens with Aaron Copland’s Music for Movies. Drawn from his soundtracks for The City, Our Town, and Of Mice and Men, the suite is a quintessential example of Copland’s “Americana” style. We are thrilled to feature our Concertmaster, YuEun Gemma Kim, in Mendelssohn’s Concerto for Violin in D minor. While not as well known as the E Minor Concerto, Ms. Kim’s stellar musicianship will make this an automatic favorite. The Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s and Choir and Soloists of St. Matthew’s Parish conclude the 2023 — 2024 season in grand style, with one of Mozart’s greatest choral works, the Solemn Vespers.
