The Omaha Consort is gearing up for its fifth concert of the 2011-12 season, Margo and Mozart. This program will feature Mozart's Divertimento in Eb for Violin, Viola, and Cello (k. 563) and two works composed by Omaha's own Margo Romig.
To open the concert patrons will be treated to a world premiere performance of Margo's Duo for Trumpet and Viola. Margo will perform alongside Scott Quackenbush (trumpet). The Duo is a romantically episodic work with soaring melodies, tuneful conversation, and skillful contrapuntal writing.
Following the Mozart will be an encore performance of Margo's Adagio and Tango for string trio. The Consort premiered this work last spring and it was a huge hit. If you missed the world premiere of this modern tango you must come hear it for yourself. Margo has established herself with a catalogue of strong work that is approachable, smart, and extremely versatile... her wonderful sense of humour also shines through with all of her music.
The concert will take place on Monday, March 12 at the Joslyn Castle. Doors open at 6p with a pre-concert talk at 6:30p. The hour-long program begins at 7p and is followed by reception. Complimentary wine and spread will be provided by Consort partner Morning, Noon, and Night.
NET will be filming this concert as part of a work that will be aired for Nebraska Treasures. Margo Romig is one of Nebraska's musical treasures and these two pieces are a testament to her craft. I hope to see you there!
