Springfield Chamber Players Launches Education And Outreach Concerts

The Springfield Chamber Players (formerly MOSSO), has announced the inauguration of a new program to bring education and outreach programs into the community.

According to Beth Welty, Chair of the Springfield Chamber Players, Quartetto Mosso (using the Italian term, mosso, for moving rapidly forward) had performed an educational concert at Berkshire School in Sheffield, MA, in early January.

This performance will be repeated at the Community Music School of Springfield, 127 State Street, Springfield, MA, on Sunday, February 11 at 3PM. Both concerts are free to the public. 

In Springfield, Quartetto Mosso will perform William Grant Still's Lyric Quartette, Rebecca Clarke's Two Movements for String Quartet, and Antonin Dvorak's String Quartet No. 12, Opus 96, American. “This program introduces audiences to a variety of classical music genres and styles, and we hope to bring this program to schools, senior centers, assisted living facilities, and other venues,” says Welty. 

Springfield Symphony Orchestra musicians performing with the Springfield Chamber Players' Quartetto Mosso include violinists Beth Welty and Ronald Gorevic, violist Carol Hutter, and cellist Yoonhee Ko.
