A new transcription of Cinderella for piano quintet, commissioned by The Schubert Club will be performed by Accordo and guest pianist Stephen Prutsman at their “Accordo with Silent Film” concert on March 13th, 2018 at Ordway Concert Hall. Accordo is a string ensemble composed of present and former principal string players of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Minnesota Orchestra. The group has been named “Best Chamber Ensemble” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune and “the dream team of chamber music” by Minnesota Monthly. Accordo has been performing since 2008 to consistently well sold and enthusiastic audiences. The concert will include a new score by Prutsman, music to Buster Keaton’s 1927 film College. Cinderella is a score for Lotte Reiniger’s short silent silhouette film from 1922, Aschenputtel.
