More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Walden Players to Perform Premiers of Local Composers - April 02, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON — The South Berkshire Concert Series will presents the Walden Chamber Players at Bard College at Simon's Rock on April 12. The concert will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the great American composer Elliot Carter. The program will also feature three world premiers of works from the Berkshire composers in addition to works by Carter and others.
The concert will feature premiers of local composers Sheila Silver, Alice Spatz, and Larry Wallach. Their works were created for the players. The works are "Azim's Dance" for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harp by Silver; "Meditations on Peace" for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harp by Spatz; and "Forest Music II" for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harp by Wallach. In addition, the program also features "Duo for Cello and Harp" (1984) by Isang Yun, "String Trio" (1984) by Alfred Schnittke, and Carter's "Immer Neu" from "Trilogy for Oboe and Harp" (1992).

The chamber players is comprised of 12 artists in various combinations of string, piano, and wind ensembles; five of them will perform. Founded in 1997, the group presents educational curricula and concerts in a format that highlights the belief that music is the human experience translated into sound. Their concerts present new concepts of a classical concert both in content and presentation – programs consist of rarely heard classical work and contemporary compositions, paired with the use of multi-media. Violinist Joel Pitchon, violist Christof Huebner, cellist Ashima Scripp, oboist Laura Ahlbeck, and harpist Franziska Huhn will perform.
The concert will take place at 8 p.m. in the McConnell Theater of the Daniel Arts Center. Tickets, available at the door, are $25 for general admission, $20 for seniors, and free to all students and to all members of the Simon’s Rock community. For information, call 413-528-7212. |
