Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Welcoming Christian Zacharias November 27, 2009

Acclaimed pianist and conductor Christian Zacharias begins his SPCO Artistic Partnership with a French-themed program that showcases Zacharias the pianist in Poulenc's Sextet and Zacharias the conductor in Bizet's 'L'Arlesienne,' incidental music from the play of the same name by Alphonse Daudet. 'L'Arlesienne,' or 'The Girl from Arles,' has become one of Bizet's most popular orchestral works, but you'll hear it in its original version for chamber orchestra.
