Cellist Emily Carroll of the Delaware County Symphony. One Neumann Drive, Aston, PA (1/4 mile west of Concord Rd. and Rt. 452) The DCS chamber music series is under the direction of Dr. Robert Whalen who serves as Chamber Music Director and Associate Conductor. The concert offers a mosaic of works by Victoria, Tallis, Gabrreli, Vivaldi, and Carter. The concert concludes with the ever popular Piano Trio Op.70, No.1 in D Major, “Ghost.” The somewhat ghostly quality to the music is attributed to the sketches for a Macbeth opera that Beethoven was contemplating at the time. The “Ghost” movement was possibly meant for a scene in volving three witches. Indeed, one of Beethoven’s piano students commented that the second movement reminded him of the ghost of Hamlet’s father. The nickname stuck; today the work is known as the “Ghost Trio.” Concert tickets are $12 or $10 for seniors/students. Children under 12 (one child per paying adult) are admitted free. Upon presentation of the Delaware County or Montgomery County Library card two tickets may be purchased for the price of one at the ticket table the day of the concert. There is ample free parking adjacent to the theatre and the Life Center is handicapped accessible. For information call 610-879-7059 or visit www.dcsmusic.org.
