North High School will hold its Chamber Music Recital on Wednesday, April 6, beginning at 7:00 p.m., in the school library, 35 Polo Rd. The public is invited to attend this free recital in person or watch online via livestream.
The recital will feature 40 dedicated high school musicians who participate in before-school and after-school rehearsals several days each week—in addition to their daily band or orchestra classes—to study with their chamber groups. Under the direction of Joseph Rutkowski, instrumental music director, students will perform selections by Wieniawski, Shostakovich, Gershwin, Joplin, Villa Lobos, the percussion specialist Murray Houliff, and “Gran Partita” by Mozart.
“Chamber music is one of the most intimate yet sophisticated of all genres of music performance,” explains Mr. Rutkowski. “The subtle nonverbal dialogue, which must be maintained in the rehearsals and throughout the performance, is difficult to describe.”
The public is warmly invited to attend this free recital for what promises to be an outstanding evening of chamber music. The livestream will be available via YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCyOnVdfPP0). For more information, contact Mr. Rutkowski at jrutkowski@greatneck.k12.ny.us.
