Fresh from their first European performance in Santa Margherita, Italy, Rhapsody Quintet will be performing from their light classical and musical theatre repertoire. Rhapsody is sure to engage classical music lovers with their selections from the world's theatres, opera and Neapolitan songs.

Rhapsody Quintet has been performing together since the mid-80's, from salon music to chamber music, they breathe new life into classical music with their unique arrangements and adaptations from orchestral and piano music. Members of Rhapsody include Anne Rapson, violin; John Rapson, clarinet, Shimon Walt, cello; Diana Torbert, Piano and David Langstroth, Bass. Shimon Walt, Anne Rapson and John Rapson also perform with Symphony Nova Scotia. For more information please visit: www.rhapsodyquintet.com.
