The Six Brandenburg Concertos

Annie Rabbat, first violin; Beth Guterman, first viola; Jing Li, first cello; Misha Grandel, soprano trumpet; and the entire Gardner Chamber Orchestra, performed wonderfully last Sunday. Paula Robison, the director of the Orchestra, and Orlando Cela played harmoniously together on their flutes. All of the musicians played passionately and eloquently. As a musician in the audience commented, "It was a real tour de force."

Tickets are now on sale by phone and on-line for the Winter/Spring 2008 concert series. Many sell out so it is advantageous to purchase them in advance. While at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum relax around the courtyard , enjoy the art, and try the cafe . The food is very good.
