At a time when gathering for live concerts is still a risky proposition, Lenape Chamber Ensemble is offering archival performances from last year’s Summer Gala series. Listen online for music by Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns, and Beethoven (recorded 7/13/19), Haydn, Milhaud, and Dvořák (recorded 7/20/19), and Cherubini, Ravel, and Taneyev (recorded 7/27/19).
The Lenape Chamber Ensemble was founded in 1975 by Mary Eleanor Pitcairn, as Bucks County’s resident chamber music ensemble. A summer season was added in 1986.
Ordinarily, performances would take place on Friday evenings, at Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church, in Upper Black Eddy, PA, and Sunday afternoons, at Delaware Valley University, in Doylestown. Needless to say, nothing about this year is ordinary.
Thankfully, the internet is immune to COVID. Enjoy selections from the 33rd annual Summer Gala concerts, and keep up to date with plans for Lenape’s 46th regular season here:

I’m delighted to learn this painting actually inspired a lovely piece of music by Frederic Glesser:
