Weekend of February 21, 2009

A Hot Ticket

Chilly St. Paul, Minnesota, hosted a hot event last month, the International Chamber Orchestra Festival. The city's resident group, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, was joined by several other chamber orchestras for a month-long festival. We'll hear music from one of those concerts on today's show. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment performs a Mozart divertimento and a sinfonia by C.P.E. Bach.
