NIC to present ‘The World on a String’ concert

| April 22, 2022 1:00 AM

North Idaho College’s Cardinal Chamber Orchestra will present “The World on a String” at 7:30 p.m., on Thursday, in Boswell Hall in the Schuler Performing Arts Center at NIC. The concert is free and open to the public.

This concert will feature the 10-piece orchestra performing music of the Baroque and Classical eras and showcasing modern film music.

The concert will begin with the overture from Mozart’s comic opera, “The Marriage of Figaro.” An overture is an orchestral introduction to a musical work, typically a ballet or opera, but can be an independent musical composition. This overture is well-known and widely performed independently as a concert piece.

The orchestra will perform another classic — Joseph Haydn’s “String Quartet No. 5 in D Major ‘The Lark’ Op. 64,” a four-movement symphony.

Along with these masterworks from the string repertoire, the group will perform music from the 2005 film “Pride and Prejudice" and Patrick Doyle’s orchestral score for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”

The closing number of the concert will be “Orawa” by Wojciech Kilar. Kilar is a Polish classical and film composer most known for composing the score to “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” in 1992.
