The Four Seasons in Lancaster

June 20th performance at Barshinger Center  ”The Four Seasons” and more, with Pro Musicis Ensemble and Stephen Gunzenhauser conducting
As many of you also know, I am recording Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with the Pro Musicis Ensemble with Stephen Gunzenhauser conducting.  Stephen has been a generous concerto collaborator for the past few seasons, not to mention a dear friend, and I look forward to this next project together, a small repayment for all of the opportunities he has afforded me.  I also got great news today that my dear old colleague and possibly the greatest harpsichordist I know, Gretchen Decker (formerly Elicker) is available for the rehearsals, concert, and recording that begin on June 18th, culminating in a concert on June 20th and recording on June 21st.  All of these events will take place at the Barshinger Center in Lancaster, PA.  Tickets are available through the link at the left of my home page, or you can go directly to www.acteva.com/go/pme.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and more, Barshinger Center in Lancaster, PA

June 20, 2008
8:00 pmto10:00 pm

Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser joins internationally acclaimed violinist, Odin Rathnam and the newly formed Pro Musicis Ensemble, for Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bach Brandenburg Concerto no. 3, and exciting tangos by Argentinean legend, Astor Piazzolla. Live at The Barshinger Center for Performing Arts, Friday June 20th at 8pm. Don’t miss this exciting debut as Pro Musicis prepares to record the Four Seasons for release later this season on West Branch Records.The Pro Musicis Ensemble is a Pennsylvania non-profit, 501(c)(3) chamber orchestra, founded and led by violinist Odin Rathnam dedicated primarily for the purpose of recording and touring with and without various conductors. Its mission is to record a broad spectrum of repertoire from well known masterpieces to lesser known and more contemporary works. Central to the mission, is striving for an environment of uncompromising attention to detail and a collaborative approach between the musicians and guest conductors that lends transparency and illumination of the composer’s score. The orchestra will have no set schedule, but rather will present programs and record on a project to project basis. Members of regional orchestras and leading chamber music ensemble players from across the nation form the core of the Ensemble’s roster. Working closely with inner-city schools, the Ensemble’s mission also includes collaboration with the Else Borges Foundation on achieving meaningful educational programs for under-privileged children, that go beyond the traditional outreach concert.
