Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra Presents: Uncommon Gems

🎻✨ Prepare to be enchanted by a concert of rarity and refined beauty — this program, presented by Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston brings together seldom-heard treasures that invite you to hear something fresh, bold, and richly expressive.

Bartók’s Roumanian Folk Dances, originally for piano and later transformed by Bartók for chamber ensemble, carries the raw energy, dance rhythms, and haunting folk spirit of Eastern Europe — now bathed in the warm transparency only chamber forces can offer.

Elfrida Andrée’s Intermezzo — from a composer who holds the distinction of being one of Sweden’s earliest professional women musicians — offers a lyrical, airy interlude that feels like a secret song slipped between movements.

Copland’s Duo (arranged by Ochoa) spotlights Pro Arte’s principal flutist, Ann Bobo, in a delicate, dialogic exchange — American lyricism meets chamber intimacy.

And finally, Poulenc’s Sinfonietta — playful, vibrant, charm-filled — closes the program with that signature French wit and sparkle we so often crave.

✨ Through Groupmuse’s Nights Out program, discounted tickets are available for this performance! Don’t miss your chance to hear these rare masterpieces in an intimate setting, delivered with passion and precision.
