“This Prince was as kindhearted as a child and the most foolish music enthusiast. He played music from dusk to dawn and spent a fortune on musicians. Innumerable musicians gathered in his house, whom he treated regally.” Chamber music by Beethoven, Haydn, & Förster, patronized by Lobkowitz

First Parish’s own Charlie Anderson and fellow brass players will present a program including the music of Herman Stein (a piece Charlie describes as “reminiscent of a Rocky and Bullwinkle sound track”), Scott Joplin, Eric Ewazen, our own Ted Pease’s arrangement of Neil Hefti’s classic L’il Darlin, and Jack Gale’s spectacular arrangement of Bernstein’s West Side Story. Come enjoy this special free concert, which will be performed in the First Parish Sanctuary.

Our featured soloists for the Beethoven are Ann Moss, Soprano; Katherine Engel Meifert,Mezzo-Soprano, Philippe L'Esperance, Tenor; and Marc DeMille, Bass, and our Emerging Artist soloist, Jordan Bailey Jones, Soprano.

Join ASO's musicians, Maestro Jin Kim and area students as we discover the mastery of Grieg's Peer Gynt. This music contains some of the most recognizable, beautiful and exciting classical harmonies.
