2022 Chamber Music Concerts

Picture

An inspiring concert by the West Stockbridge Chamber Players
in support of Ukraine to feature music with ties to that besieged country

​On Sunday June 26 at 2 p.m., the Chamber Players will offer a benefit concert for Ukraine Relief and the Restoration Campaign for the Old Town Hall in West Stockbridge. The performance will take place in the acoustically rich Vaber Hall on the building's second floor and will feature the Chambers Players' artistic director Catherine Hudgins on clarinet, Sarah Atwood on violin, Amy Sims on violin, Nathaniel Farny on viola, and William Rounds on cello.

Curated by Hudgins, the program features works that highlight Ukraine's musical significance, including Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart's Quartet in G minor, Op. 1 arr. C. Hudgins; W. A. Mozart's Larghetto from the Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581; Arvo Pärt's Psalom for String Quartet; and the Ukrainian composer Evgeny Orkin's Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet, Op. 43.

With the generous help of the Chamber Players and the loyal audiences who flock to their concerts, the West Stockbridge Historical Society has been able to make tremendous strides over the past few years in turning the Old Town Hall — an iconic building which anchors West Stockbridge’s downtown — into a community center, history museum, and future home for the West Stockbridge Chamber Players.

​Please consider making an additional donation to support Ukraine through "Cash for Refugees"

We are working with TurnPark Art Space, which has led a donation campaign to support Ukraine, to raise much-needed relief funds. “Cash for Refuges” is an NGO founded by refugees, for refugees, they give cash directly to people displaced by the war in Ukraine. They are focused on the most vulnerable: women with children, the elderly and the disabled. No bureaucracy, no overhead, no delays. This organization gives them the means to buy what they need to survive their ordeal. It gives them dignity, it gives them hope. To make your contribution please go to: https://www.cashforrefugees.org/
