MUSICIANS FROM MARLBORO : A DELIGHTFUL EVENING
On November14, The Musicians from Marlboro returned for the fourth time to perform at Western's von Kuster hall.
Those participating this year were Donovan Bown, oboe, Clara Neubauer, violin, Itamar Zorman, violin, Hiroki Kasai, viola, Oliver Herbert, cello, as well as Sharon Wei, viola. As always, the interpretation of works by Britten, Mendelssohn, and Bartok was both skillful and musically interesting because of the enthusiasm of these young musicians.
London's own Lara St. John will join London Symphonia on January 17 with conductor Nicolas Ellis in a concert titled The Ancient Flame. She will perform Dorman's Violin concerto No.2, Nigunim.
Our final presentation, April 18, will be The Brahms Effect. Clarinetist Graham Lord and the London Symphonia String Quartet, Joe Lanza, violin, Emile Pare, violin, Kelvin Enns, viola, and Ben Bolt-Martin will perform the Brahms Clarinet Quintet and other pieces. Tom Allen will provide the commentary.
We look forward to seeing you during this exciting season.
