In lieu of a sweet edible treat, Chamber Orchestra of the Springs will present you with an aural confection.

The impetus behind the orchestra’s upcoming concerts, “All in Good Humor,” is simple: “To have some fun,” said music director and conductor Thomas Wilson.

To do that, they’ve enlisted the help of three composers from the same time period — Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, M.F. von Droste-Hülshoff and Franz Joseph Haydn — and selected three of their most cheery works.

Performances are at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Ent Center for the Arts, 5225 N. Nevada Ave. Tickets are $17.75-$40.50; chamberorchestraofthesprings.org, entcenterforthearts.org.

Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, “Turkish,” by Mozart: The Chamber Orchestra’s concertmaster and violinist, Jacob Klock, will take on Mozart’s favored violin concerto: “The one people like the best,” Wilson says.

“Jacob’s playing is joyful. Part of his roots are in fiddling and jazz, so he likes to keep it a little random, a little bit improvisational. There are several places where things will stop for a second, and he gets to play something he wants. I’m expecting every one of those will be different. He’ll throw us little curves and make little jokes out of it.”

Symphony No. 95 in C minor, by Haydn: “Haydn’s London symphonies are his most famous works. This is the black sheep of them. It’s in a minor key. People assume he’s a super-happy guy because out of 106 surviving symphonies, he wrote 11 in minor keys. This is the perfect example. OK, the first theme’s in minor, but he can’t wait to go to major keys. He was chronically upbeat and happy. There’s a lot of joy in this symphony,” Wilson said.

Sinfonia Concertante for Three Flutes & Orchestra, by Droste-Hülshoff: Droste-Hülshoff, a close friend of Haydn, wanted to make a living as a composer, but never quite connected in the same way Haydn and Mozart did, even though Haydn promoted his music, Wilson says.

Paul Nagem, principal flutist for the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, will join the Chamber Orchestra’s two resident flutists.

“This is my favorite of Droste-Hülshoff’s compositions,” Wilson said. “He was a great flute player, and his grandfather was a legendary flute player. He writes this piece for three flutes and orchestra. It’s 18 minutes of over-the-top happiness.”
