The Chambers Players of the Greenwich Symphony conclude their 50th anniversary season with a single concert titled “A Tale Through Time” on Sunday, April 24 at Christ Church, 254 East Putnam Avenue.
Three jazzy movements from David Baker’s Hommage à l’Histoire serve as an overture for the performance of Igor Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale, featuring Edward Pleasant as Narrator, Olga Suarez-Paz as choreographer and dancer. David Gilbert, Conductor Emeritus of the Greenwich Symphony will join to conduct this semi-staged performance of this tale.
Olga Suarez Paz is a choreographer, dancer and director working across the genres of traditional tango, contemporary dance, and dance theater. Edward Pleasant, baritone, is recognized as one of the most versatile performers of his generation. Critically acclaimed in opera, stage, narration, recording, and musical theater, he has distinguished himself as an expressive singer and a gifted actor with brilliant comic timing and a luscious baritone voice. David Gilbert became Conductor Emeritus of the Greenwich Symphony in 2020 after serving as its music director and conductor since 1975.
All Chamber Players musicians and volunteers are fully vaccinated. The current COVID guidelines of the concert venues are followed: Masks are optional at Christ Church Greenwich.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $5 for students, can be purchased via the Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony website, www.chamberplayersofthegso.com, by phone 203-637-4725, or at the door. The audience is invited to a post-concert reception with the artists in the Christ Church Parish Hall.
