St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble
Orchestra of St. Luke’s has co-commissioned a new work by Hungarian conductor and composer Iván Fischer, which will be performed along with Fischer’s Shudh Sarang Sextet for tabla and strings, a work inspired by his trip to India. Works by Kodály and Bartók champion the folk music of their native Hungary, while the brilliance of Austrian musical geniuses Mozart and Haydn shine in a divertimento and string quartet.

Kodály, Serenade for two violins and viola, Op. 12
Iván Fischer, Präludium und Fuge (U.S. Premiere)*
Iván Fischer, Shudh Sarang Sextet (U.S. Premiere)

*Co-commissioned by Orchestra of St. Luke's and Friends Association of the Concertgebouw and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
