BWW Previews: PERFORMERS OF WESTCHESTER Fall Season
This Sunday, September 14th, the Performers of Westchester kicked off its 23rd season with a performance by the renown Brentano String Quarter in a program of Mozart, Bartok and Schubert. The Performers of Westchester was established in 1982 by pianist Joel Rosen with the purpose of arranging performances of chamber music in private homes rather than in concert halls. The concept was designed to allow audiences to listen and experience chamber music in the ambience originally intended by the composer. This season features an eclectic array of poplular chamber music repertoire as well as modern, rarely presented, and unusual pieces.
