MUSIC AS LEGEND
FEBRUARY 28 & MARCH 1, 2025

Sponsored by Coldwell Banker Sellers Realty

The concert begins with Chokfi: Sarcasm for String Orchestra and Percussion by Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate. This piece is a “character sketch” of a trickster in Southeast American Indian legends named
“Chokfi”–– a rabbit person with a “complicated and diabolical personality.”

Soloist Evan Kahn, the distinguished principal cellist of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, will charm you with the classic and joyous Haydn Concerto in C Major. The program concludes with American composer Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2 in Db Major, a piece said to reflect his Scandinavian heritage and “the wide, open sound of the American frontier.”
