Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

Still thinking about this night 🤍

Honored to experience the magic alongside the brilliance of Marc-André Hamelin at the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival!

From Piano Sonata No. 17 “The Tempest” to the sweeping world of Wanderer Fantasy, and ending in the depth of Piano Sonata D. 960 transformed into chamber symphony form.

Nine concerts in nine cities later, we are officially finished our tour with our wonderful friend, Marc-André Hamelin. Schubert, Beethoven, and Mozart will be echoing in our minds… until next time! 💕 We were lucky to have the most generous, enthusiastic audiences. Thank you all for coming!!

An unforgettable evening at the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts with Marc-André Hamelin and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
From Beethoven’s Tempest reimagined for strings to Hamelin’s own Passacaglia for piano and strings, the program traveled through brilliant transformations of Schubert and Liszt - music continually reborn through new perspectives.
Thank you to our wonderful audience in Stillwater for sharing this special night with us. ✨
