All SFCO All Stars, All the time! The SFCO Woodwind Quintet, String Quintet, and Piano combine in multiple permutations for a variety of musical colors and characters. First up is Dvořák's vivacious String Quintet (just add the double bass!), followed by "Autumn Music" for wind quintet by Jennifer Higdon, a piece which abounds with vibrant musical imagery. Winds and strings mix it up in the opener of the second half of the program in Casella's tribute to Ravel and Debussy. And for the final pieces on the program, we're joined by SFCO perennial pianist, Keisuke Nakagoshi for Poulenc's Sextet and Prokofiev's "Overture on Hebrew Themes," a dynamic and festive end to our chamber music party.

Debra Fong and Natasha Makhijani, violins; Sandy Leem, viola; Michael Graham, cello; Bill Everett, Bass; Stacey Pelinka, flute; Peter Lemberg, oboe; Peter Josheff, clarinet; Karla Ekholm, bassoon; Alicia Telford, horn; Keisuke Nakagoshi, piano
