Good Morning Mr. Phelps:
Monday night brings back our musical game show, “Guess Who? The Return”.
For the first half of our program CMSSL musicians Ann Fink. Kristin Ahlstrom, Andrew François, Susan Gordon, James Czyzewski and Davin Rubicz will perform five relatively short examples of five different composers from five different eras.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess the name of the composers. As to the second half of the concert after intermission, you will not have to guess who composed the Brahms Trio for Violin, Cello & Piano in C Minor #3 Op. 101. SPOILER ALERT…it was Brahms. Peter Henderson will join Kristin and James for this work.
With your program booklet, you will receive a “Guess Who?” Scorecard and a pretty pink pen (which you can keep) to record your responses. At the intermission, please turn your cards in to the ushers to be tallied. There will be a drawing for a number of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes in the Pillsbury Theater at the post-concert reception to honor our Concert Sponsor, Tom and Carol Voss. All ticket holders are invited to the party.
URGENT REQUEST: PLEASE…PLEASE…take two (2) minutes to vote your repertoire choices for the May 22 “All About You Again” concert. There a couple of questions included that will help guide us on planning our format and programming in the future. We would appreciate your input on those as well as your votes for the May 22 concert repertoire. Voting closes in a few days (February 21) so HEAD HERE to make your choices for the concert repertoire and pass this note along to friends and family who may like to participate.
This message will self-destruct in….well…… actually…no it won’t.

Over and out,

We deeply appreciate Chamber Music Society and the exquisite music they perform. Thank you for all the lovely music you have brought us over the years. We look forward to many more.
CMSSL has been doing all it can in the way of creative, highly successful efforts to compensate for the agony of 2020. That’s been very much appreciated.
Last night’s performance was, as usual, wonderful. We are looking forward to the next Chamber concert.
We are grateful to your beautiful, awe-inspiring CMSSL in our lives. As threadbare as our nation has become in so many ways, it is the regenerative power of music ant the arts that enthuses me. Keep on weaving! Thank you.
These concerts have been even better than I imagined. My hat off to your engineer- the sound quality exceeded that of most CDs I own of this repertoire. I also applaud Peter Henderson for tackling the Liszt this week. Thank you all so much for bringing so much light in these trying times.
Many thanks… for a very professionally presented performance of endearing music with the very best musicians.
I just wanted to express to you and the board what an exceptional job you each have done during these very trying times. I regularly attend many venues during the course of the year. The Chamber Music Society has by far created the best experience.
The concert was just thrilling. Loved the pianist. Adored the Dvorak. Happy to see Leonard in such an intimate setting. Terrific evening! Thanks.
Thank you for a fantastic evening.
What a wonderful venue, program, incredible musicians. Congratulations on such a great program and the hard work and effort it takes to achieve success for Chamber Music Society of St. Lous. Music is healing, and I thank you.
