Chamber Orchestra Ogden will present our next concert on January 26, 2019. This is the annual Red Dress Concert, which is sponsored by Ogden Regional Medical Center in honor of American Heart Month, with the goal of raising community awareness about heart health.
As is our custom on these concerts, we will again feature two of the orchestra’s many outstanding musicians as soloists. The concert will begin with a performance of the first movement of Mozart’s Concerto in C for Oboe and Orchestra, with principal oboe Karen Hastings as the soloist. Next up will be the orchestra’s assistant concertmaster Elissa Krebs, who will perform Camille Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.
After a brief presentation about heart health from ORMC the concert will be brought to a close with Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 in A Minor, Opus 56 “Scotch.”
A bit about our soloists:
Principal oboe Karen Hastings will perform Mozart.
Karen has played, taught and performed oboe for almost 20 years. She is a University of Utah graduate with a degree in Woodwind Performance and studied with Robert Stephenson; principal oboist of the Utah Symphony. She has been Principal Oboist with Chamber Orchestra Ogden for nearly four years.
Assistant Concertmaster Elissa Krebs will play Saint-Saëns.
Elissa Krebs holds a Master’s degree from the University of Utah in Violin Performance and a Bachelor’s degree from Weber State University in Music Education. She has studied with Hasse Borup, Shi-Hwa Wang, Lois Stout, and Javier Pinell.
