Hudson View Garden’s Performing Arts Group kicks off their fall season with a performance by the Voyager Reed Quintet on Sunday, September 29 at 5 pm at The Lounge.
Voyager performs works by Gershwin, Bernstein, Sibelius, Franck, Glass and more. The music is arranged for this particular group of instruments, a “reed quintet” – oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon and saxophone – which has become a standard combination in the 21st century.
The ensemble is named for NASA’s Voyager spacecraft and is inspired by the “golden records” carried on that rocket and by the intersections of a wide variety of music.
Coming up on October 20, PAG presents violinist Rolf Schulte and pianist Joseph Liccardo performing sonatas by Mozart, Janáček, and Brahms. More fall concerts will be announced soon.
