Panorámicos to perform two chamber concerts

Panorámicos, a chamber ensemble including Cleveland Orchestra first assistant principal viola Lynne Ramsey, will perform two chamber concerts in the coming weeks featuring Luciano Berio’s Folk Songs with soprano Sandra Simon and Cleveland Orchestra principal percussionist Richard Weiner.

The program, titled “Old Wine, New Bottles,” will include world premiere performances of pieces by Paul Ferguson and Michael Cohen, Vincent Persichetti’s Serenade for Flute and Harp, and Luciano Berio’s Folk Songs, with soprano Sandra Simon and Cleveland Orchestra principal percussionist Richard Weiner.

The ensemble will perform at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, March 14, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights, and at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, March 21, at Historic St. Peter’s Church. Tickets for both performances are available at the door.

Panorámicos is a prizewinning mixed chamber ensemble whose innovative programs feature commissions and collaborations with composers from the worlds of theatre, jazz, contemporary classical and world music.

The ensemble’s new recording, Reflections, is available for purchase at the Cleveland Orchestra Store. The recording features performances with Cleveland Orchestra musicians Ralph Curry (cello) and Richard King (horn).
