The Doansburg Chamber Ensemble will continue its 2019 season with performances by its woodwind quintet. The program will be performed on Saturday, August 3rd at 7 p.m. at St. Mary in the Highlands Episcopal Church at 1 Chestnut Street at the intersection of Routes 9D and 301 in Cold Spring, New York, and on Sunday, August 4th at 4 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church at 2103 Route 6, just west of Brewster, New York. The Ensemble will feature flutist Christine Smith, oboist John Frisch, Susan LaFever on French horn, David Miller on bassoon, and clarinetist Alexander Negruta. Scheduled repertoire for this concert includes F. Danzi’s Quintet Op. 56 No. 1, Pavanne by M. Gould, Trois Pieces Breves by J. Ibert, E. Ewazen’s Roaring Fork Quintet, and works by Grainger, Joplin, and Sousa.

The Doansburg Chamber Ensemble consists of accomplished musicians who, along with several guest artists, annually present a concert series of outstanding musicianship in a charming, rural church setting. The artists have been heard at major performance venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and Lincoln Center. Their artistic musicianship will please audiences of all ages. Miss Smith is a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, Pre-College Division, and she holds a Masters Degree in Education. Mr. Frisch appears frequently as soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player in the New York area. Ms. LaFever’s performances have been called “bold and striking” with “a confident lyric quality” by the New York Times.  Mr. Miller began his professional career as a member of the National Symphony Orchestra and the United States Navy Band in Washington, DC, and now performs regularly in the New York area.

Programming is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council's Arts Link Grant Program with public funds provided through the NY State Council on the Arts, with support from Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Legislature.

Tickets for the concert are available at the door at $10 for general admission and $9 for seniors and students. For further concert information, or to order advance tickets, please call (845) 228-4167.
