In Bachtrack's review of Orpheus October 10th concert, Edward Sava-Segal said, "Spectators with their folding chairs, wine glasses and food baskets reminded me of the ambience on the Tanglewood Festival's lawn on a sunny afternoon. The sunset, as seen through the branches of a huge pine, was as spectacular. "

On October 24th, members of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday with a performance of one of his most rousing and popular works, the Septet, Opus 20, first performed in 1800 and dedicated to the Empress Maria Theresa.
