The Atlanta Chamber Players present
“Chamber Music at the Tavern:
The Soldier's Tale”

The Atlanta Chamber Players are thrilled to return to the New American Shakespeare Tavern, 499 Peachtree Street, Atlanta on the evening of Tuesday, January 26, 2010 for the first of two performances there this season. The concert begins at 7:30 pm, but the audience is invited to enjoy – beginning at 6:15 pm - the British pub menu and libation at the Shakespeare Tavern. This winter concert features an exciting, staged performance of Igor Stravinsky's 1918 theatrical masterpiece – L'Histoire du Soldat (A Soldier's Tale), complete with seven ACP musicians, plus narrator, actors and dancers from the Atlanta Shakespeare Company roster. Stravinsky's virtuosic music is set to a Russian folk tale about a soldier who trades his fiddle to the devil for a book with great powers. Joining ACP regulars Justin Bruns (violin), Laura Ardan (clarinet), Carl Nitchie (bassoon) and Douglas Sommer (bass) will be ASO Principals Thomas Hooten (trumpet), Colin Williams (trombone), Tom Sherwood (percussion), and Michael Moore (conductor.) A short first half features the Baroque soul and bravura of Johann Sebastian Bach, followed by American Elliott Carter's brilliant 1988 duo for flute and cello, Enchanted Preludes, inspired by poetry of Wallace Stevens.

(Dinner and drinks are not included in the concert ticket price.)
