...prices weren't enough to attract an audience, the performers and the program would be. The Chamber Players include some fine instrumentalists, among them flautist Doriot Anthony Dwyer, clarinetist Harold Wright, trumpeter Armando Ghitalla, and horn player James Stagliano. The programs, decided on co-operatively by the entire group, are diverse: this Sunday, the group will do a Rossini Quartet for Strings, Piston's Woodwind Quintet, and the Schubert Octet...
...them, but either way one finds Rousseau's image pasted permanently to the back of one's brainpan. Those serpents keep on slithering through the jungle of one's own nerve endings, while that level flute pours silence drawn from striped pools.

Another feature of the concert was the performance of two Baroque flute sonatas with the accompaniment of a harpsichord, played nicely by Sy Hayden. Flautist Eric Herz overcame some nervousness at the beginning of a sonata by Loeillet and went on to play Bach's Sonata in G minor with assurance. The work is a typical Italian trio-sonata structure enriched by Bach's genius...
