Lenape Ensemble on WWFM

I hope you’ll join me for today’s Noon Time Concert, when I’ll be introducing works performed by Bucks County’s Lenape Chamber Ensemble. On the program will be music by Franz Schubert, Joaquin Turina and Antonin Dvorak. Lenape Chamber Ensemble is made up of crackerjack musicians from Philadelphia and New York City.

The group’s next set of concerts, which will feature works by Haydn, Schubert and Jean Francaix, will take place on October 7 at Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church in Upper Black Eddy, Pa., and October 9 at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, Pa. For more information, look online at lenapechamberensemble.org.

Then stick around: later this afternoon, among my featured selections, we’ll enjoy a symphony by Sir Arnold Bax, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.

Rochberg Bernstein Highlight Local Concerts

Music by a couple of Americans with romantic predilections bind two pairs of concerts by Lenape Chamber Ensemble and the Grammy Award-nominated Westminster Williamson Voices next week.

Brett Deubner and Marcantonio Barone will present George Rochberg’s Viola Sonata in Upper Black Eddy, on April 10, and in Doylestown, on April 12. The program will also include Mozart’s String Quintet in C Major, K. 515, and Max Bruch’s Piano Quintet in G Minor.

Westminster Williamson Voices will be joined by special guests, the University of Aberdeen Chamber Choir, under the direction of Paul Mealor, for a 50th anniversary performance of Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms,” on April 11, at Westminster’s Bristol Chapel in Princeton, and on April 12 at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. Also on the program will be the world premiere of Westminster alumnus Thomas LaVoy’s “Songs of the Questioner” and the U.S. premiere of Mealor’s “The Shadow of the Cross.”

Mealor has been described by the New York Times as “the most important composer to have emerged in Welsh choral music since William Mathias.”
