Ensemble Chaconne - Le Grand Siècle
Court and Salon music in France,
1650 - 1750 on period instruments

Ensemble Chaconne enthralls audiences with dramatic period-instrument performances of music from Renaissance and Baroque Europe. Repertoire ranges from well-known masterpieces to recently discovered works. The trio of transverse flute, viola da gamba, and lute or guitar, so popular in the 16th to 18th centuries, is rarely heard today. Peter H. Bloom (flute), Carol Lewis (gamba), and Olav Chris Henriksen (lute, theorbo and early guitar) bring exhilaration and theatrical intensity to an intimate chamber setting.

The three musicians have performed together since 1985, while also appearing in solo recitals and concertizing widely with other ensembles. Over the years, Ensemble Chaconne has achieved precision of ensemble and graceful interplay as a trio, while highlighting the strength and expressiveness of each individual.

Ensemble Chaconne is a member of the New England States Touring Program and the Massachusetts Cultural Council Performing and Touring Roster, and the South Carolina Arts Commission's Artists-in Education Roster.

December 9, Sunday, 4:00 p.m.
Messiah Public-Singing
You can be the performer (or audience)
under local guest conductors with chamber orchestra

February 17, Sunday, 4:00 p.m.
Rusty Banks, guitar
(and also composer, conductor, and teacher)
on the faculty at Millersville University

If you attended the 10 pm Christmas Eve service, you heard Rusty playing Vivaldi's Concerto in D with the string orchestra and were introduced to his very fine musicianship.
His concert, entitled "Friction," features works which derive energy from a contradiction, contrast, or incongruity. Included are traditional pieces by Bach and Villa Lobos, and works by several living composers, including Banks himself.

This concert will be followed by a buffet supper in Fellowship Hall, the Lenten study at 6:30 pm, and Compline at 8 pm.

March 30, Sunday, 4:00 p.m

Karl Moyer, F.A.G.O.

retired professor, Millersville University,
and former organist of Grace Church

Sixty Years as an Organist

A wide variety of music....
something for everyone!

Grace member and a former Organist/Director, Karl Moyer, is coming out of retirement to play this major recital - a celebration of "Sixty Years as an Organist (and counting!)"

This concert has something for everyone - from the light-hearted to the profoundly spiritual. Karl will play his own arrangement of Stephen Foster's, "I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair." A rarely heard work, Karg-Elert's "Fugue, Canzona, and Epilogue" will be performed with the assistance of violinist, Carolyn Moyer, and local women's vocal ensemble, "Lorelei," under the direction of Dorothea Parrish. A former student of Moyer's, Dr. Stephen Katzenmoyer, will be present to sing the Philadelphia Eagle's "fight song;" then Karl will play Katzenmoyer's "Fugue and March" based on the tune "Fly, Eagles, Fly."

The audience and Grace Choir members John Saeger, Gail Rittenhouse, and Jason Keen will sing a favorite Easter-season hymn, "O Sons and Daughters," followed by the organ "Toccata" by Lynwood Farnam on this hymn. Much-loved organ pieces by Franck, Beethoven, Schumann, and Titcomb are included in the program, and the concert concludes with Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E-flat. The fugue "subject" resembles the tune of the hymn, "O God, Our Help in Ages Past."

Be a part of this very special musical event, and help us celebrate Karl's milestone anniversary. As usual, a great meal will follow in Fellowship Hall.
