CMSC breaks sound of silence with ‘Picking up the Pieces’
View(s):After six months of involuntary silence, the Chamber Music Society of Colombo looks forward to being reunited with audiences later this month, in a series of concerts entitled ‘Picking up the Pieces’.
Led by music director Lakshman Joseph-de Saram, the CMSC’s string principals (plus flute), will perform a selection of shorter Baroque works by Corelli, Handel and JS Bach, along with Beethoven arrangements of Bach and Albrechtsberger, and lesser-known offerings by Antonio Salieri and Francesco Durante.
The performances will take place at the Goethe-Institut hall, 39 Gregory’s Rd, at 7.30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday 20 as well as a reprise of the entire programme on Sunday 27th. Patrons who had purchased tickets for the March 29th concert may revalidate them for any of these three dates, in person, at the Goethe-Institut library (10 a.m.–5 p.m., Wed–Fri), until Friday, September 11. The remaining tickets – Rs.1000 (unreserved seating) will be available at the Security post, from Saturday 12 onwards.
