Musical Notes IT'S Germany at the start of the 18th century and the Marquis of Brandenburg has possibly the finest private orchestra in the country.

UTAH SYMPHONY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, Abravanel Hall, Thursday This season, the two Utah Symphony Chamber Orchestra concerts spotlighted J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.

Chamber music is classical music's more intimate side -- a smaller ensemble, a smaller venue -- and, often, a sense of collaboration among friends.

The concert features the Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 featuring Bach specialist Father Sean Duggan.

In the couple of years that David Cho has been the Utah Symphony's assistant conductor, he hasn't had many opportunities to do much other than pops. On Thursday, however, he'll be on the podium as the Utah Symphony Chamber Orchestra plays three of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. (The remaining three will be performed in May.)
