Hear Sounds Of Harp, Flute & More At Free Red Bank Concert

RED BANK, NJ — The Red Bank Chamber Music Society will host their free concert "Music for Harp, Flute, Violin, and Viola" with members of the Manhattan Chamber Players on Oct. 27.

Based in Red Bank, the Chamber Music Society is a non-profit organization that presents chamber music concerts for the benefit of the community.

By allowing members to join for free, the Chamber Music Society aims to encourage people of all ages to discover and enjoy different musical experiences.

For their October concert, the Chamber Music Society will feature members of the Manhattan Chamber Players — a group of New York-based musicians who aim to perform the greatest works in the chamber repertoire at the highest level.

To celebrate the beauty of chamber music, the Chamber Music Society's October concert aims to be a “sonic journey” through French chamber music tradition that detours into the world of Beethoven.

Beginning at 4:30 p.m., the concert will open with Claude Debussy’s “Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp.” After that, audiences will hear three shorter works by composers Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Ravel, and Joseph Jongen, which showcase the range of the flute and harp duo.

As the first half of the concert comes to a close, audiences will hear “Fantasie for Harp and Violin” by Camille Saint-Saëns, followed by a performance of “Etude de Concert” by Marcel Tournier.

The second half of the program will kick off with Beethoven’s “Serenade for Flute, Violin, and Viola.” Following that piece, the concert will conclude with Maurice Ravel’s “Sonatine,” which was originally composed for solo piano and reimagined in Charles Salzedo’s arrangement for flute, viola, and harp.

“Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in the enchanting interplay of instruments, performed by accomplished musicians,” Chamber Music Society officials said. “Join us for an afternoon of artistry and inspiration that will resonate long after the final notes fade.”

The Chamber Music Society’s free concert will take place on Oct. 27 at Trinity Episcopal Church, located at 50 White Street Entrance, Red Bank.

Doors open at 4 p.m. The concert will start at 4:30 p.m.
