Last night's program featured some scintillating ensemble playing.
This is a small venue, so call ahead for tickets.
The room is small, so earliest arrival ensures closer seating.
It is open air, and a little bug repellant before the show may be advised.
John Manassee is one of the clarinet heroes in attendance, and is worth the trip, alone. But he is most definitely NOT alone!
Of particular note were Peter Kolkay (bassoon) and the incomparable
Gil Kalish. Gilbert is a tremendous player, with remarkable phrasing.
Peter Kolkay became the first solo bassoonist to be awarded the first prize at the Concert Artists Guild Competition, and if you haven't heard of him, you will.
That guy plays Bassoon like Tony Levin plays bass guitar.
