Chamber Music Concert

January 24, 2010 at 3:00 pm

War Memorial Building, Brockton

Played by small groups where each musician has a unique part, the magic of chamber music lies in its intimacy, both in communication between the musicians and with the audience. It is music for listening, thinking, and imagining: it is music that speaks to the mind and the heart. This concert features Feinberg Youth Competition finalist Anna Larsen, the Oliver Ames High School String Quartet, and Brockton Symphony musicians. Featuring works by Prokofieff, Baldassare, Reinecke, Gounod, and Dvorak.
