‘Petite Suite’ Presented by Bell’Art Ensemble
Sunday, October 11 from 5:00 to 6:15 pm
The Bell’Art Ensemble presents a program of music that honors the idea and experience of childhood. From children’s dreams to evocative sketches, the ensemble highlights vignettes designed to bring out the child in all of us. In this time of quarantine and family isolation, we need a reminder of the power of imagination, play and wonder. Featured Musicians are Raquel Winnica Young (mezzo-soprano), Lenny Young (oboe), Ashley Freeburn (violin), Billie Jo Miller (piano), and Jack Kurutz (piano).
