SF Chamber Orchestra Silent Film Rush Hour Concert | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

This program is built around the unusual instrumentation of Stravinsky’s Octet (1923), scored for flute, clarinet, two bassoons, two trumpets, and two trombones. UC Berkeley professor Cindy Cox has composed a new score for the same octet, and silent film composer Donald Sosin has written a new score for Harold Lloyd’s 1921 Now or Never (which will be screened during our performance). The program opens with a Renaissance suite featuring our four brass players.

• Byrd: Renaissance Suite for Brass
• Cindy Cox: Octet [World Premiere]
• Stravinsky: Octet (1923)
• Sosin: Now or Never [World Premiere]
