This varied and engaging work for chamber orchestra was commissioned by the Fenimore Chamber Orchestra and premiered in June of 2026. It takes the listener on a sweeping journey through an evocative harmonic landscape in a single 25-minute movement. It uses the same instrumentation as Mozart's Symphony No. 40.
“Concerto for Chamber Orchestra” does not have a programmatic theme as such, although thematic metaphors provide kind of a map for the listener. The work itself is an ingenious evocation for the musical cues offered in the program. The composer has provided a work that does not condescend to his audience. Rather, he creates a gorgeous sound world that flows with inspired melody one thought to be lost in the current mêlée of mediocre composition. We look forward to hearing the piece again.”
