Sunday Music in the Garden Room at Acadia
September 20, 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE USE
Wolfville, NS -
Sunday Music returns to the beautiful Garden Room of the K.C. Irving
Environmental Sciences Centre at Acadia University in Wolfville. The
first concert, on Sunday, September 25 at 4:00 p.m., will feature
Nova Scotia's own Rhapsody Quintet from Halifax.
Sunday Music in the Garden Room 2005-2006
is a series of six free Sunday afternoon concerts sponsored by
the Kings County Branch of the Associated Alumni of Acadia University
with the generous support and cooperation of the K.C. Irving Centre to
celebrate its recently-acquired Steinway grand piano.
Apart from the final "Stars of Tomorrow" concert
in March, all of the concerts will be presented by established
professional artists. That final concert will feature graduating and
recently-graduated students from Acadia's School of Music. Future dates
are: October 30, November 20 in 2005; and January 15,
February 12 and
March 12 in 2006. All are at 3:00 p.m. in the Garden Room except the
September 25th concert, which is an hour later.
The Rhapsody Quintet - consisting of violin,
clarinet, cello, piano and bass - has performed salon music, light
classics, theatre music and chamber music arranged for their unique
grouping since the mid-1980s. Their Garden Room concert will consist of
salon music in the first half and theatre music in the second. The
Quintet has released four CDs to date. Selections from these can be
accessed from their website at
www.rhapsodyquintet.com. A quotation in The Daily News
earlier this year says: "... simply splendid ... full of the
sophisticated grandeur of a long, lingering 1930s mid-Atlantic cruise
...".
A splendid way to spend a late September Sunday
afternoon in 2005!
