The Chambers Players of the Greenwich Symphony continue their 51st season with a pair of concerts titled “The Melody Makers” on Sunday, November 6, 3pm at Round Hill Community Church, 395 Round Hill Rd, Greenwich, and Monday, November 7, 7:30pm at the Greenwich Historical Society, Vanderbilt Education Center, 47 Strickland Road, Cos Cob. The Chamber Players will be joined by Wilton resident and Greenwich Symphony cellist Melissa Westgate.
The Chamber Players will perform three string quartets – Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat major, D.87, Op. 125 No. 1, String Quartet No. 1 in G major (unfinished) by Florence Price, and Anton Arensky’s String Quartet in A minor, Op. 35.
Said artistic director and Chamber Player cellist Daniel Miller of the concert: “This program highlights works by composers inextricably linked to song and features a tuneful early Schubert work, a rarely performed and richly lyric piece by Florence Price, and Anton’s Arensky’s ‘cello’ quartet, based on Russian themes.”
After being on hiatus during the pandemic, the complimentary “Wine and Cheese” receptions return for the 51st season, offering an opportunity to chat with the chamber musicians and friends. The receptions are after the Sunday concert, and during intermission of the Monday performance.
Single concert tickets for the 51st season are $35 for adults, $5 for students. Subscriptions and single tickets can be purchased via the Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony website, www.chamberplayersofthegso.com, by phone 203-637-4725, or at the door.
