The program will include Corelli’s Sonata da Camera in D Major; Maria Anna
Martinez’s Sonata da Cimbalo in G Major for flute & continua; two works for cello and harpsichord by Tartini and Frescobaldi; and Telemann’s Parisian Quartet in G Minor. Robert Lawrence, Program Director, will introduce each selection to the audience with personal spoken program notes.
All Seasons performers are professional musicians who also perform with major area orchestras, Broadway shows and summer music festivals. They include flutist Brenda Sakofsky of New City, NY; violinist Robert Lawrence of New York City; cellist E. Zoe Hassman of New York City; harpsichordist Jean Strickholm of Demarest; and harpsichordist Ron Levy of Teaneck.
