Chamber Music Festival Of The Black Hills - Ravel, Debussy, and Mendelssohn

Testimony is written from the Prayer Band experience, and from specific rhythms in African American churches and communities—the ‘Gullah Clap’ (on beats two, two-and, and four) and the ‘Half Clap’ (on beat one only).”

Debussy Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite both arranged for chamber size with guest soloist and founding member of our festival, Aaron Goldman, principal flute of the National Symphony in Washington, D.C.

Bob's Choice! We have let our pianist Bob Koenig decide between Mendelssohn Trio D minor or C minor. It was a close call but the choice is C minor!
