Alasdair Fraser &
Natalie Haas
Friday, May 3 • 7:00 pm
The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland's premier fiddle ambassador, and the sizzlingly-talented Californian cellist Natalie Haas may not seem an obvious one, but the duo's dazzling teamwork, driving rhythms, and their shared passion for improvising on the melody and the groove of Scottish tunes has helped reconstruct and revive the Scottish tradition of playing dance music on violin and cello.
Next Generation
Saturday, May 4 • 7:00 pm
After a hiatus, the popular next Generation performances are back. In 2007, to kick off Chandler's centennial celebration, pianist Christopher O'Riley brought his acclaimed NPR Boston "From the Top" program to the Chandler stage to much audience enthusiasm. Chandler decided to create something similar and for fourteen years enjoyed this engaging look-alike program with young teenage musicians from our own area playing classical music.
Upper Valley Baroque
Sunday, May 19 • 3:00 PM
Bach's St. John Passion
One of J.S. Bach’s major oratorios, the St. John Passion dramatically recounts the story of Jesus’ crucifixion as told in the Gospel of St. John. Upper Valley Baroque brings this powerful masterpiece to life with a talented ensemble of singers, super-star soloists, and orchestral musicians playing on period instruments – under the direction of Maestro Filippo Ciabatti.
