Los Angeles Recorder Orchestra (LARO) concert

The 30-member ensemble will be playing many sizes of recorder, from the tiny Sopranino to one that sounds 4 octaves lower, the 9-foot SubContraBass.

This concert will feature a rare concerto for trombone from the classical period with soloist David Howells. He will be playing the Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra by Austrian composer Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. Albrechtsberger was noted as a theorist and included Johann Hummel and Beethoven among his pupils.

To honor her last concert with LARO Marianne Martin will perform THREE POEMS for Recorder (originally for Chinese Flute) and Recorder Orchestra by the British composer Steve Marshall

In addition to the trombone concerto three other pieces by Albrechsberger will be played as well as Mr Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan.
