For decades\, Meg and Alyce have been navigating the intricate dance of chamber music side by side\, their shared history echoing in every phrase they play. Their mother Mary instilled in them her own deep love for music\, a gift both sisters have cherished and are now passing on to the next generation\, teaching and playing alongside their own children and grandchildren. When they perform it isn’t just a concert; it’s a celebration of sisterhood and the quiet joy of two lives lived in harmony.  \nAlyce is the concertmaster of the Waterbury Symphony and a frequent virtuoso soloist with orchestras and chamber music ensembles. She has given concerts at Carnegie Hall\, The Kennedy Center\, La Philarmonica de las Americas in Mexico\, The Blossom Music Festival in Ohio\, and The Waterloo Music Festival with members of the New York Philharmonic. She studied chamber music with the Cleveland Quartet\, the Juilliard Quartet and Joseph Gingold. Alyce has been violin soloist on WQXR in New York\, and has appeared as soloist with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra\, Hartt Symphony Orchestra and on numerous occasions with the Waterbury Symphony.  \nAlyce performs on an exceptional Italian violin made by Desiato- Postiglione in 1869.  \nMeg performs and teaches in the Finger Lakes region of New York\, most recently as the piano soloist in the Beethoven “Choral Fantasy.” She has performed as soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic and the Finger Lakes Symphony.  \nA quartet\, consisting of 4 pianists at 2 pianos\, has been meeting every Tuesday in Geneva N.Y. for the past 100 years\, with Meg keeping a seat warm for the past 45 years.

SUMMARY:Beethoven's "Eroica" by David Stein
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s third symphony was the “Eroica\,” a huge\, marvelous and joyful expression of heroism and hope. It was written by the young composer during wartime as he emerged from an earlier state of despair. His Fifth Symphony is more famous perhaps\, but the “Eroica” was the most groundbreaking and influential. In fact\, it has been called by many conductors the greatest of all symphonies; it opened new realms of human imagination and became the foundation-stone for the Romantic century of Schumann\, Brahms and Mahler. In this session we will explore the first movement\, a “hero’s journey” in music\, to hear how it depicts formidable obstacles bravely overcome\, and how Beethoven unifies a vast range of emotion and subjective experience and draws the listener in to participate in the adventure. \nFREE/donations welcome \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
