Brussels Chamber Orchestra to Strike a Chord with Triangle Listeners at Cary's Bond Park

July 6, 2009

CARY , NC – The Town of Cary is pleased to host a live performance by one of the world’s most talented chamber music ensembles – the Brussels Chamber Orchestra – on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sertoma Amphitheatre in Bond Park, 801 High House Road . Tickets are $10; children 12 and younger are free. Tickets are available at the Herb Young Community Center , Monday-Friday, noon-6 p.m. or through Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.com or 1-800-745-3000.

Founded in 1999, the Brussels Chamber Orchestra comprises young virtuosos from six nationalities, each individual bringing their own country's cultural sensitivity, forging a covenant between Asian discipline and European fantasy. The absence of a conductor converts this ensemble into a real chamber music orchestra. In its short but active life, the Brussels Chamber Orchestra already counts a good number of concerts and has been invited to many international tours covering Germany , Spain , France , Japan , United States , Italy and Mexico .

Their repertoire includes works spanning from Mozart to Britten, Elgar, Bartók, Hindemith or Schoenberg. They have premiered and commissioned contemporary works from young outstanding composers and are constantly looking for new projects.

“Music lovers across the Triangle are invited to spend an evening listening to the wonderful sounds of this talented ensemble,” said Performing Arts Coordinator Sarah Bunch. “Feel free to bring a picnic to enjoy during the concert or before the concert in our beautiful park.”

In case of inclement weather, the concert will be held in the Cary Senior Center in Bond Park.

The event is part of the Cross Currents Chamber Music Arts Festival. For more, visit www.brusselschamberorchestra.com or call (919) 469-4061.
