![]() | Dear Friends, Happy New Year! An enormous heartfelt thank you for your warm response to Andover Chamber Music's recent end-of year-appeal. It's not fun to ask for support, so we are very touched by your understanding and generosity. An official thank you letter (and CD gift to many) is in the mail. In a few weeks I will be giving a faculty recital at Longy, and am very lucky to be playing with both of my children, pianist Sophie Scolnik-Brower, and cellist Sasha Scolnik-Brower. Many of you know them from their own performances, but this will be one of the first Boston-area concerts involving all three of us. |
The
program is infectiously fun, and full of rarely-played
works: Villa-Lobo's colorful "Jet Whistle," for flute &
cello, transcriptions for flute & piano of the Brahms Eb Clarinet
Sonata and of Bach's buoyant "Italian Concerto," the deliciously sinuous
tangos of Piazzolla's "Four Seasons of Buenos Aires" and a couple of
short concert gems from our Salut D'Amour CD. Reception to follow. We'd love to see you there!

The France Show 2013
Every January the enduring British love affair with France is
celebrated over three days in the heart of London, England. The France Show
brings the best of France to Britain, including the widest selection of
food and drink to purchase as well as inspirational travel ideas and a
genuine insight into the enviable French lifestyle.
Organized by leading publisher Archant, The France Show is a firm fixture in the calendar of ardent Francophiles, whilst also attracting those curious about visiting France and buying French products.
This is your chance to learn about everything France has to offer – from wine tasting to holiday inspiration, and from sampling cheese in the market to improving your French in the language theatre. The France Show also hosts the largest French Property Exhibition in the UK.
Friday, January 18th - Sunday, Janaury 20th - 10am-5pm
For tickets go here.

Bonne année 2013....
Happy New Year 2013!
I hope your New Year's eve celebrations was peaceful and joyous. This morning I woke to the sun shining and the house quiet. I was so happy to be able to sneak downstairs and crack open my new calendars for the new year. Of course high on the list was my French Country Diary by Linda Dannenburg. Julie's post from Provence Post had me checking my inventory supply and I realized we have just a handful left - we've reduced the price to $14.99 and when they're gone - they're gone - don't miss out! Get yours here.

I just love this little image from my travels in the French countryside years past. It also reminds me that I should start working on my Christmas Cards early this year!
