This program serves up a varied, danced-themed Valentine concert featuring Dvořák's light and airy Valse and Scherzo from Serenade for Strings, op. 22 and Piazzolla's sensuously rhythmic Argentine-tango based Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (Four Seasons). The latter will feature virtuosic violinist Christina Mok performing this exciting piece originally composed for an accordion-like instrument called the bandoneón. As evidenced by the name, this new arrangement by Russian conductor Leonid Desyatnikov includes an homage to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Rounding out the performance are Aaron Copland's Dance Panels and Ottorino Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances. The Mission Chamber Orchestra of San Jose is conducted by Emily Ray.

Mission Chamber Orchestra gave a creative and energetic performance. The event was complemented with deserts and coffee from Eulipia. Overall, a very pleasant and complete experience.
