A certain virus didn’t give Pacific Chamber Players much opportunity last year to delight Sunshine Coast audiences — just as it has done since it was formed in 2001.
This year, however, it will celebrate its 20th anniversary with season of six concerts of exciting chamber music.
“Glorious Beethoven” is the theme for its first next month. It includes his Piano Trio Op1 No 1, Piano and Wind Quintet in Eb Op 16 and the exciting Wind and String Septet Op 20.
Nancy Tow will give a pre-concert talk about the programme. This will commence at 2.00pm with the concert at 2.30pm. Nancy is a former ABC Producer in Sydney and gave talks in the foyer of the Sydney Opera House before an orchestral concert.
