The Gabriel Chamber Ensemble (GCE) opens its 35th season with a concert on Sunday, October 6, at 3 pm, at Jerusalem Lutheran Church, 252 Dock St., Schuylkill Haven, PA.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the concert features music by three Latino composers – Joaquin Turina – La Oración del Torero ( a work originally composed for four lutes), Heitor Villa Lobos – String Quartet No. 5 (soulful Brazilian melodies), and the Piano Quintet by Reynaldo Hahn (dramatic, plus melodic and elegant).
Featured musicians on Sunday are violinists Simon Maurer and Dana Allaband, violist Agnès Maurer, cellist Ai-Lin Hsieh and pianist Xun Pan.
To help mark this milestone of performing in Schuylkill County for 34 successful seasons, the concert will welcome both Senator Dave Argall and county commissioner Gary Hess. Both gentlemen are expected to deliver proclamations to GCE in honor of its service to the community.
We Have a New Piano!
In addition to other planned festivities to celebrate this milestone season GCE has acquired a newly-restored Steinway B grand piano for more pristine sound than was found on the much older piano at the church.
This was made possible through the expertise of GCE’s own Dr. Xun Pan, a Steinway artist, and with funds generously bequeathed by the late Dr. Gwen Gentile of Schuylkill Haven and Brooklyn–a beloved and longtime concert patron.
