Orpheus performs brilliant works that reach beyond their eras and origins, transporting listeners to faraway worlds. Michael Tippett, one of the great British composers of the 20th century, harked back to Renaissance England for his Divertimento on Sellinger’s Round. Dmitri Shostakovich sidestepped the harsh realities of Stalinist Russia through irony and dark humor. Renowned pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet returns to Orpheus for Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1, an early masterpiece that juxtaposes brooding intensity with brash tunes and the incongruous commentary of a trumpet. Arthur Honegger’s Pastorale d’été evokes 1920s Paris with a warm, breezy homage to summer, and Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings—a longtime Orpheus favorite—captivates us with a heartfelt love letter to Mozart and the Classical era.
