The Chicago Symphony Orchestra responds to Professor Steven Rings’ prompt to explore music of the vernacular. In this chamber music program, musicians from the CSO take on Stravinsky’s Concertino, written while he was living in a fishing village in France; Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 14 featuring a lively syncopation related to a Czech stomping dance, and Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence with distinctly Russian folk-like melodies.
