with J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto; the introspective chorale-quartet on
"O haupt voll Blut und Wunden" by Janitsch, and a dazzling quartet
for strings and basso continuo by Fasch will cap off the program. The ensemble is comprised of local talent: Geoffrey Burgess, oboe and Leon Schelhase, harpsichord with Daniel Elyar,
Christof Richter and Daniela Peterson on violins and violas; Eve Miller, cello. Admission is free and
donations are gratefully received.
