Four wind soloists, keen to chamber music, and one pianist devote themselves to this still undiscovered wonderful musical genre. Critics have praised ensemble 4.1 as having an intoxicating atmosphere on stage and an exceptional communicative power that reaches their audience. Their music ranges from Mozart and Beethoven to rarely played compositions from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.

Featuring all six saxophones from soprano to bass, The Moanin’ Frogs are unique on today’s chamber music landscape.  Conservatory trained and entertainment minded, their dynamic and technically precise performances of classical, ragtime, jazz, and pop delight fans across the world.

Selah, a contemporary Christian vocal trio, became known for transforming old Christian hymns into songs with a more modern style complete with powerful vocals and beautiful harmonies.  Having sold over 4 million records, won 11 Gospel Music Association Dove awards and has over 900 million streams across all digital music platforms, they are now working on their 22^nd album in 27 years of performing.

The choir invitational originally scheduled on this date has had to be cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control.  Instead, please join us for an afternoon of delightful music with flute and clarinet. The flute and clarinet recital, presented by Aleksandra Kemble (flute) and Joe Clark (clarinet), promises an exciting experience, blending the rich colors of both instruments and creating harmonies that will resonate long after the performance. They will be playing works by Muczynski, Clark, Koechlin, Szalowski, Rutter, Gould and more.
