If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. | |

CHAMPAGNE & STRINGS
Bach for Solo Violin
|
Friday, February 10 at 7:30 pm
Lyon Park Community Center
414 N. Fillmore Street, Arlington
|
Our program features Joseph Scheer, concertmaster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, performing solo violin partitas and sonatas by Bach. These masterworks firmly established the technical capability of the violin as a solo instrument and served as a model for generations of composers including Ysaye and Bartok. Brahms wrote of these pieces: "On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings."
Joseph Scheer was handpicked to be the concertmaster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra by Maestro John Williams himself, and over the course of his career has performed in virtually every great concert hall and with every great conductor and soloist imaginable. Joe will "talk and play" through these great works in our intimate concert space and IBIS "home base."
Did your New Year's resolutions include getting some culture and helping your community? If so, on Friday, February 10 you can kill two birds with one stone.
This concert is a fundraising event for the renovation of the Lyon Park Community Center. ALL proceeds from this concert go directly to the renovation fund.

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Hillcrest D.C.
Seeks a Part-Time Organist/Choir Director
The Organist/Choir Director would be responsible for the music at one Sunday service, one weekly rehearsal, services during Holy Week, parishioners’ funerals and other church special days. Currently our volunteer choir has 15-20 amateur singers. In addition, the Organist/Choir Director would be responsible for developing a youth choir. Variety in musical style is welcomed. Persons unfamiliar with Episcopal liturgy will be considered.
Salary and benefits would be commensurate with the salary schedule published by the Diocese of Washington and include paid vacation and funerals for parishioners. The interest of St. Timothy’s congregation in the music ministry is shown by our instruments: a relatively new Steinway piano, and a pipe organ, which was rebuilt and updated in 2002.
For more information about St. Timothy’s Church, please visit our website at www.sttimothysofcdc.org or contact the Reverend Cannon Gwynn at (202) 582-7740 or at churchofsttimothys@verizon.net.
