Escape the February doldrums for an afternoon and join us for a trip to Prague, where we will present the Anton Reicha Wind Quintet in D, composed in 1818. Reicha, a friend of Beethoven, was one of the first composers to popularize this ensemble. Then we will add a bass clarinet for the Janacek Mladi (Youth), a charming piece full of Moravian folk melodies and unbridled joy.

The Salon Series is Pro Arte's chamber music concert series. Each performance features a select handful of musicians from Pro Arte's cooperative along with occasional guest artists to present musical gems not featured in the full orchestral Ensemble Series. They are a perfect way get to know Pro Arte players better. If you haven’t been to one of these fun concerts, they are presented in a less formal manner and feature plenty of opportunity to interact with the musicians and to learn more about the music.
