The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will present works by Mozart and Strauss in its chamber concert Sunday afternoon, Jan. 27, at Chattanooga State Community College.

But the highlight of the concert is arguably the world premiere of “Four Third Streams” by Chattanoogan Douglas Hedwig.

“Four Third Streams” was written for wind quintet by Hedwig; composed, in part, while Hedwig was completing a fellowship/residency at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Wyoming during summer 2017.

“Four Third Streams” is a four-movement work for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, full of thematic unity and textural contrast that merges classical music and jazz, the composer describes in a release from the CSO office.
