Lexington Chamber Orchestra presents "What Remains" by Zach Brock

The Chamber Music Festival of Lexington will present the Lexington Chamber Orchestra in its first concert of 2026 on January 31, 2026, at 7:30 P.M. at the Lexington Opera House. LCO will perform the world premiere of What Remains, a new work for violin and orchestra by Grammy Award–winning violinist and composer Zach Brock. Built around the themes of return and transformation, the piece draws on Brock’s long-term musical touchstones—including Barber, Prokofiev, Bartók, Coltrane, Ellington, and Shorter—and incorporates recurring refrains inspired by a villanelle at the heart of the composition. What Remains also features improvised passages for the solo violin, at times in contrapuntal dialogue with the orchestra and at others in cadenzas that recall the older tradition of spontaneous solo playing. Come watch Marcello Cormio lead the all-string orchestra, with Margie Karp as concertmaster, as Lexington’s own Zach Brock plays the premier of his new concerto!

Tickets go on sale on January 5, 2026 at 10:00am and are available through the Opera House box office and Ticketmaster. Box seating $65, Orchestra seating $40, Balcony seating $35, students and children $10.
