Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra String Quartet Brings Music to Redding

The Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra absolutely loves our community. And we were “sharing the love” on Friday, September 25th when a string quartet comprised of members of the orchestra performed a special program at Meadow Ridge in Redding.

RSO musicians Nina Crothers and Corinne Metter, violin; Suzanne Corey-Sahlin, viola; and Gunnar Sahlin, cello, performed a program of Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Kreisler before a large and appreciative audience. Not only was great music in abundance, but wine & cheese, great conversation and good cheer as well!

The program was a prelude to the RSO’s Season opening performance on Saturday, October 3rd, 8:00 pm, at Ridgefield High School’s Anne S. Richardson Auditorium. The October 3rd RSO concert features Tchaikovsky’s immortal Fourth Symphony; Mendelssohn’s virtuosic First Piano Concerto, featuring soloist Jason Hardink; and Borodin’s popular Polovtsian Dances. With three of the same composers on both programs, the Meadow Ridge performance was an appetizer of sorts, with the upcoming world-class RSO performance truly a smorgasbord of musical delights!
