Our January concert traditionally features the stellar Apple Tree Arts Faculty and CHSO members performing a varied “cornucopia” of music – ala “Pop Up Chef Kitchen!” You never know what you might find on the menu, but it’s sure to be adventurous, inspiring and a whole new, flavorable experience! More details to come soon, as the “music chefs” in the kitchen finalize our “specials” for an always “Special” evening!!!!
Chamber Opera: “Mary Anning – Fossil Hunter” “She Sells Seashells by the Seashore!”
The Claflin Hill Apple Tree Arts Chamber Series concludes with a totally new and innovative chamber music presentation of a new and recently premiered performance of CHSO Music Annotator Jon Ceander Mitchell’s original short opera based on the story of Mary Anning – the unsung heroine of modern paleontogoly! Written for small chamber orchestra, soloists and chorus ensemble – Jon’s composition is founded in classic English “folk song and symphonic” style with flavors of Vaughn-Williams and Holst highlighting the telling of a fascinating tale! A singular event – not to be missed!!!
Paul Surapine: Family & Friends – “A Chamber Music Cabaret!!”
The Claflin Hill Chamber Series launches another season by presenting CHSO Founder Paul Surapine, joined by family & friends in a virtuoso and entertaining program of classic French clarinet “tour da forces” paired with “salon style” offerings of Italian & English artsongs, Broadway, “Gypsy” and more!! A refreshing “take” on the concept of chamber music presentation – music by, for and amongst friends in an intimate setting!!
