Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra Announces Mother's Day Performance

From Canoe Harbor Consulting: Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Get Cozy’ chamber music series continues Sunday, May 14, 2017 with 7 Rivers Wind Quintet at the Kittery Dance Hall in Kittery, ME. The performance starts at 3:00pm. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door.

The 7 Rivers Wind Quintet will present a Mother’s Day concert filled with vivid imagery ranging from leaping frogs to elegant dances to an energetic hunt. This performance will span a wide variety of styles from the 20th and 21st century by fascinating and inventive composers whose styles are brimming with evocative and carefree melodies. The program will include Paul Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik, Darius Milhaud's Cheminee du Roi, Renee, and Five Frogs by Jenni Brandon.

Northern New England's premier wind quintet, the 7 Rivers Wind Quintet is comprised of Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra members Karen Smith on flute, Jon Tefft on oboe, Katrina Veno on clarinet, Susan Williams on french horn and Rick Shepard on bassoon.

“As a community orchestra, the PSO atrracts musicians from many towns who work in a wide range of professions. One of the secondary benefits of bringing so many talented people together is the number of smaller ensembles that form among members,” notes Virginia Macdonald, Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra Executive Director. “This month’s 7 Rivers Quintet performance and next month’s Seacoast Flute Ensemble are but two examples of groups comprised entirely of PSO musicians that have gone on to establish their own identities and reputation for great music.”

Get Cozy with the PSO chamber music concerts will conclude Sunday, June 4 with the Seacoast Flute Ensemble at the Kittery Dance Hall.

The Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra is supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
