Unsung concerts

[Mark Thomas]

Whilst in New York over the years I'm been to maybe half a dozen Jupiter Symphony Chamber concerts and they have always been a  delight. The players all believe passionately in the music which they're playing and most have connections with the Julliard, which is right next door to the venue, and so their interpretations and technique are of a uniformly high standard, the programming is always full of unsungs and the audiences are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. If you get the chance, do go.

[Ser Amantio di Nicolao]

I haven't heard it YET.  However, there is this concert coming up next month here in DC:

Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) - Four Preludes for Piano (1927-8)
Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) - Sonata for Viola and Piano (1919)
William Schuman (1910-1992) - Amaryllis Variations for String Trio (1966)
Robert Palmer (1915-2010) - Piano Quartet No. 1 (1947)

Unsung enough, I should think - I'm quite looking forward to the Clarke.
