The Amabile Tango Trio

Tom Warren (guitar), Cathy Sherwin(flute), and Michael McGillivray (violin and viola) are congradulated and thanked for bringing their wonderful musical talents to The Playhouse and for giving us a delightful taste of South American music by Astor Piazzolla mixed with other interesting pieces for guitar, flute and violin.
.
The second season of Chamber Music at The Playhouse continues to provide us with seldom-heard, but fascinating music.
.
A diverse audience that nearly filled The Founders Room heard Cathy play Syrinx by Claude Debussy, Cathy and Mike with Jean Baptiste Loeillet de Gant's Sonata in G Major, Mike and Tom playing Paganini's Cantabile for Violin and Guitar and four of Piazzolla's tangos.
We were then treated to Joseph Kreutzer's Trio for Flute, Viola and Guitar.
.
After a brief intermission with coffee and cookies provided by Sally VanDeventer and Joann Castle, we heard Cathy and Tom's version of Histoire du Tango and Martin Taylor's Musette for a Magpie.
.
What a fabulous way to spend a winter evening!
