Sanibel Music Festival: American Chamber Players
Cited as one of today’s most innovative chamber ensembles, American Chamber Players will perform on March 8 at Sanibel Music Festival. “There’s always excited anticipation for American Chamber Players,” said Festival President Jana Stone. “Although Artistic Director Miles Hoffman will not be performing this season, he is known for creating programs that surprise and delight the audience.” Miles Hoffman is the group’s founder, artistic director, and a longtime music commentator for National Public Radio.
The American Chamber Players program will begin with two pieces from early 20th century Paris: Three Watercolors for Flute, Cello, and Piano by composer and flutist Philippe Gaubert, and Two Interludes for Flute, Violin, and Harp by composer Jacques Ibert. Next, from a century earlier, Viennese composure Franz Schubert’s Sonatina No. 1 for Violin and Piano will be performed, followed by Sonata for Flute, Violin and Continuo in B-flat Major from composer C.P.E. Bach, known as “Berlin Bach,” to distinguish him from his father Johann Sebastian. The concert will conclude with Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C Major from German composer Johannes Brahms. Local residents Linda and Doug Garde are sponsors.
