Infamous Composers

Q: What do a Renaissance murderer, an injured 19th century pianist, and a harpist convicted of forgery and counterfeiting by the French government all have in common?

A: They are all INFAMOUS COMPOSERS! Learn more about their lives, and hear apple orange pair‘s original transcriptions of their musical output, at our next concert on MAY 28. A brief narration of these composers’ crazy antics will accompany our performances of music by Carlo Gesualdo, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Louis Vierne, Robert Nicolas Charles-Bochsa, and Robert Schumann. We will also be presenting a new piece for horn and harp specially written for us by composer Russell Nadel.

INFAMOUS COMPOSERS is happening at 135 Whitney in New Haven at 7:30pm on Saturday, May 28. We’d love to have you join us for this especially fun evening of music-making and storytelling! Suggested ticket price is $15/adult, $5/children and students.
