Amabile [ah MAH bee lay] means "loveable" or "sweet" in Italian. Music can lovable to everyone.
"Music is a universal language of Mankind."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Amabile Chamber Trio, with Michael J. McGillivray (violin and viola), Sonia Lee (violin) and Catherine Sherwin (flute) took us on a wonderful ride through four centuries of music, including selections for flute and violin by Morley and Telemann, the Duo for Violin and Viola in G Major by Mozart, Six Duets for Two Violins by Bartok and finally Beethoven's Serenade in D Major for Flute, Violin and Viola, Op. 25.
The evening was enjoyed by all who attended, as we kicked off the fourth season of Chamber Music at The Playhouse.
