BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Music Center's Chamber Series welcomes Musicians from Marlboro in concert on Saturday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m. Admission is by donation and will support scholarships for BMC Music School students.
Pieces chosen include some of the best Marlboro performances from the past five years, according to a news release. From Haydn's characteristically classical Divertissement in G Major, Hob. IV:7 to a work for alto and double bass written by Marlboro's 2016 composer-in-residence Sofia Gubaidulina, and from the mixed winds and strings ensemble in Prokofiev's Quintet, Op. 39 to Stravinsky's Three Songs from Shakespeare and Brahms's String Quintet in F Major, Op. 88, this program promises to be truly varied.
Performers include Sara Couden, mezzo-soprano; Giorgio Consolati, flute; Ryan Roberts, oboe; Yoonah Kim, clarinet; Emilie-Anne Gendron and Ji Won Song, violin; Jordan Bak and Sally Chisholm, viola; Yi Qun Xu, cello; and William Langlie-Miletich, double bass.
In celebration of its recent purchase of Potash Hill, and in recognition of the special history it shares with the Brattleboro Music Center, Marlboro Music is donating the performer fees for this concert. Suggested donations are $10 to $25. For more information, contact the Brattleboro Music Center at [email protected], call 802-257-4523, or visit bmcvt.org.
