ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra (CCO) will conclude its 2025-26 Orchestral Series with Boulangerie 1 on Saturday, March 7th at 7:30 p.m. at Ithaca College’s Ford Hall.

The program is the first in a series of tributes to Nadia Boulanger, with pieces from Thea Musgrave, Aaron Copland, and Mozart.

Steven Harmon, Principal Horn since the 2022-23 season, says, “Mozart’s concertos are some of the richest sources of musical expression for horn players, they offer seemingly endless opportunity for character and interpretation. Getting to perform one is an incredibly exciting opportunity.”

Upcoming CCO performances include:

Gershwin and Dvořák (Chamber Series)-April 12
Mendelssohn and Auerbach (Chamber Series) – May 10
50th Season Reveal Concert – June 7
