Chamber Players in Concert at White Plains Public Library

ALL SEASONS CHAMBER PLAYERS IN CONCERT AT WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC LIBRARY

The All Seasons Chamber Players, one of the region’s most popular chamber ensembles, will perform a program entitled From Mozart to Martinu at the White Plains Public Library on Sunday, March 23 at 3:00 pm. The members of the ensemble are flutist Brenda Sakofsky, violinist Robert Lawrence, cellist Ellen Zoe Hassman and pianists Jean Strickholm and Steven Anderson.

The free program will feature Mozart’s dramatic Sonata in E Minor for Piano and Violin, K. 304; Edvard Grieg’s beloved Norwegian Dances Op. 35 in their original version for piano duet; Bohuslav Martinu’s lively and rhythmic Trio for Flute, Cello and Piano in F, written in 1944 when he lived in Ridgefield, Connecticut; and Johannes Brahms’ magnificent lush Trio in B Major, Op. 8, one of the great works in the chamber music literature.

Now in its 22nd season, the All Seasons Chamber Players has performed nearly 400 concerts in the metropolitan area including two previous appearances at the White Plains Public Library in 1997 and 2000. In addition to its live concerts, the ensemble has been featured in several hour-long broadcasts on Cablevision’s MetroArts/Thirteen station.

Ensemble members are active professionals who also serve as soloists and members of major New York area orchestras, Broadway shows and summer music festivals and have performed in New York City’s major concert halls. Their appearance at the White Plains Public Library is made possible through funding provided by the Friends of the White Plains Public Library.
