    The music of Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger (1839-1901) returns by popular demand to the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs season. His First Organ Concerto and the Suite in C Minor were enthusiastically received by our audiences in recent years. The always popular music of Saint-Saens will also be featured: Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor. A lot of composers began as freakish children, but by any standards Saint-Saens was an extreme case. As a two-year-old he could read and write, and was picking out melodies on the piano. Shortly after his third birthday he began composing, and by the age of five had given his first piano recital. At seven he was reading Latin, studying botany and developing what was to become an eighty-year interest in lepidoptery, (the study of butterflies and moths). As an encore after his formal debut as a concert pianist, the 10-year-old Camille offered to play any of Beethoven’s 32 sonatas from memory. Finally, it'll be Mozart's Symphony No. 38 in D Major, "Prague," K. 504 When Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781 to begin a new career as a freelance composer, there were not, at first, many occasions that required new symphonies, so he relied on his older symphonies and a few of his favorites by Haydn. In December 1786, Mozart began work on two new compositions intended for use at his Lenten concert series in Vienna in 1787 and another benefit concert in Prague . He completed his Piano Concerto in C Major, K503 and his Symphony No. 38, K504, “ Prague ” between December 4 and 6, 1786.
