WELCOME TO THE NAPLES COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA 2021 SEASON

As 2021 ushers in our organization’s 28th year of continuous performances we remain optimistic that the Coronavirus will be behind us before our scheduled season begins. We have planned an exciting series of concerts which embody our mission of live and affordable classical music.

Our concert season begins in February, 2021 to allow for a later start date and we have reduced our season from four to three concerts. Each concert will have one performance only on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. The dates for the concerts are February 20, March 20, and April 24, 2021. All concerts will again take place at the spacious Moorings Presbyterian Church.

Our programs feature the NCO Chamber Ensemble, a group of 10 virtuoso string musicians. In addition, we’ll bring your three outstanding soloists.

Most importantly Artistic Director Max Rabinovitsj returns to conduct and perform for his 7th season!

We know you join us in expressing our gratitude to have him as both our Artistic Director and as a member of the Naples community. Please see the section below for the exciting season he has planned.

INTRODUCING OUR 2021 SEASON

Maestro Rabinovitsj has planned three programs to highlight the expertise of our soloists and chamber ensemble.

The season opens with Emerson Millar, Co-Concertmaster of the Naples Philharmonic, performing Bach and Vivaldi. Milana Strezeva, piano joins Ms. Millar for Chausson’s Poéme and Tzigane by Ravel. Ms. Millar is followed by Naples own pianist Priscila Navarro performing Bach, Mozart and Gershwin. Our Season Finale concludes with the return of internationally acclaimed violinist, Stella Chen. Ms. Chen performs works of Bach and R. Strauss. Milana Strezeva will join Ms. Chen for the Strauss Violin Sonata in E-flat major. Max Rabinovitsj joins Ms. Chen for the Bach Concerto for Two Violins, “the Double.”
