Delaware County Symphony- Chamber Concert- Brandenburg Concerto

The Delaware County Symphony (DCS)will present the third of its Chamber Concert Series on Sunday February 8, 2015 at 3 p.m. in the Life Center at Neumann University, Aston, Pa.

Included in this program will be Bohuslav Martinu’s Trio for Flute, Cello, and Piano. Martinu is one of the greatest Czech composers of his generation and internationally known for his concerti and chamber music. His work tends to command attention from its opening bars and offers a rhythmically vital and singing style that recalls the genius of both Antonín Dvořák and Igor Stravinsky. The concert continues with August Klughardt’s delightful and lyrical Wind Quintet, Op 79 and will conclude with Johann Sebastian Bach’s energetic and lively masterpiece Brandenburg Concerto No.4 a quintessential example of the High Baroque period in classical music.

Featured in this concert will be Jennifer Flam, Barbara Cohen , flutes, Michael Berton, cello, DCS Music Director Tim Ribchester, Arnold Ostroff piano’s, Kristin Bray, oboe, Lynn Thomas, clarinet, Alex Bancer, bassoon, Rebecca King, horn, Jeremy Desiderio, Lisa Roberts, violins, Barbara Ostroff, viola. and Arnold Ostroff, piano.
