    SOLAR (SOULAR) POWERED
    CONCERT and DISCUSSION with
    DR. MARTIN VOSSELER

Dr. Martin Vosseler (Switzerland) led the first ever solar-powered transatlantic voyage in 2007; his present project is called Walk Across America because he is walking across America talking to people -- the famous and the less famous, and in particular, he is talking to American scientists about solar power and why the US needs to lead the way. We are honored that he is joining us.

Program:
Beethoven: Trio in B-flat major, Op. 11 for clarinet, ’cello and piano
Don't Rollover Beethoven!!
Mozart: Quintet in A-major, KV 581 for clarinet and string quartet
Schubert: Shepherd on the Rock, Kennst Du das Land (Do You Know the Land
 from Goethe's Wilhelm Meister)
Brahms: Trio in B-major, Op. 8 for violin, ’cello and piano
    Brahms Not Bombs!!

Here Comes the Sun; Bruch: Nachtgesang: Strauss: Morgen

Eric Grossman, violin; Emily Howard, mezzo-soprano;
Beth Levin, piano; Neil Rynston, clarinet; Lawrence Zoernig, ’cello

The Solar Panel will be probing into the deeper questions:
how do we revive the spirit of Nature into the environmental movement - the
merging of spirit and technology; what is the role of music and art in this
movement; and also we will present questions from teenagers about the
environment and have presentations of other green projects;
and most importantly, discuss the experiences of Dr. Vosseler's journey.

So please join us for some
BRAHMS NOT BOMBS and DON'T ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN!
