Chamber Players to Perform Last Concert of the Season

chamber-players-18-19-season

The Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony will perform its last concert of the season – “Uncommon Voices” – on April 28 and 29. Performances will be on Sunday at the Round Hill Community Church, 395 Round Hill Rd., at 4 p.m. and on Monday at the Greenwich Arts Council, 299 Greenwich Ave., at 7:30 p.m.

“Uncommon Voices” is a program that highlights the lower register, or “undersung” instruments in the chamber music world. The program will start with Edward Elgar Romance for Bassoon and Strings; for the finale, Jean Françaix’s Divertissement for Bassoon and String Quintet provides a dose of Gallic drôlerie. The double bass will be prominent too, not only in the Françaix, but in the Rossini Duo for Cello and Bass, as well as the Vaughn-Williams Piano Quintet, which is written with bass instead of second violin part. Joseph Jongen’s Introduction and Dance for Viola and Piano gives violist David Creswell an opportunity to come out from the middle of the pack and be heard in an eloquent pair of movements by this little known Belgian composer.

The audience is invited to a wine and cheese reception with the musicians after the concert. Tickets are: $30 for adults and $10 for students.
