Music For Valentine's Day

There are some lovely concerts of romantic music
on both sides of the Monterey Bay this weekend.


Exotic Chamber Music

Saturday night and Sunday afternoon in Aptos the Santa Cruz Chamber Players present "Tales of Love and Exotic Places."

Lars Johannesson, artistic director, flute and piccolo
Kathleen Kasdorf, soprano
Amy Brodo, cello
Susan Bruckner, piano

Saturday, February 13, 8:00PM
Sunday, February 14, 3:00PM
Christ Lutheran Church, Aptos     (Click here for Google Maps)

Flute, Cello, Piano, and Soprano weave an atmosphere of romance; tropical, historical and fairytale… Exotic scenes of faraway places.

This program centers around the sensual and evocative Songs of Madagascar by Ravel and the lyrical, late-romantic style love songs by America’s Amy Beach.

Scenes of hummingbirds, an evocation to Brahma, and Sephardic melodies are united with other exotic instrumental elements to delight the senses.

From the real to the imaginative, the concert culminates with Elizabeth Raum’s beautiful setting and narrative of Cinderella’s fairytale love story.
