  Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra Celebrates French Masterpieces in "ViveLa Musique" Concert Series

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — The Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra (CCCO) is proud to announce its upcoming concert series, "Vive La Musique," a vibrant journey through the elegance and energy of French classical music. Featuring beloved works by Gabriel Fauré and Georges Bizet, these performances will take place on April 26 in Pittsburg and May 3 in Orinda.

The program opens with the hauntingly beautiful and atmospheric works of Gabriel Fauré. The orchestra will perform his celebrated Pavane, known for its delicate melodies and rhythmic grace, followed by the evocative Pelléas et Mélisande suite, which captures the deep romanticism and drama of the classic French play.

Concluding the program is Georges Bizet’s Symphony No. 1 in C Major. Written when the composer was only 17 years old, this symphony is a tour de force of youthful exuberance, melodic brilliance, and classical precision.

"French music has a unique way of balancing sophisticated textures with pure, infectious joy," says Geoffrey Gallegos, artistic Director for CCCO. "From the ethereal notes of Fauré to the spirited finale of Bizet’s symphony, 'Viva La Musique' is a celebration of the enduring spirit of the French repertoire."
