Synopsis:
The SOI Chamber Orchestra presents an intimate evening of chamber music at the Prithvi Festival, showcasing works that span classical lyricism, folk traditions, and 20th-century brilliance.

Frolov’s sparkling Divertimento and Shostakovich’s whimsical Five Pieces highlight both virtuosity and charm. Fibich’s lush Poem and Dinicu’s lively March Round Dance add romantic and folk flavors, while Kumisbekov’s Poema offers a haunting, Central Asian-inspired close to this richly diverse program.
