Building upon our current season of chamber music offerings, PCO is presenting this concert of works for violin & viola duo, and for four trombones. Meeting outdoors, these musicians are excited to be able to play together as a group for the first time in, well, a long time. The Sibelius is a unique duet for strings known to be one of the composer’s earlier works. The fun collection of trombone pieces are performed by three members of our trombone section plus an additional guest performer, Katy Raymond.

This concert and all previous video concerts remain available anytime after the premiere date on the Pasadena Community Orchestra YouTube channel.
