Chamber Music of Dan Locklair and Lawrence Dillon to Be Performed by Carolina Chamber Symphony Players in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on March 11 Reynolda Reflections by composer Dan Locklair and Devotion by composer Lawrence Dillon will be heard as part of Reynolda Reflections, a special concert by the Carolina Chamber Symphony Players on Sunday, March 11 - 3 p.m. in the James A. Gray Auditorium of the Old Salem Visitor Center on the grounds of Old Salem Museum and Gardens in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This concert is presented jointly the Carolina Chamber Symphony Players (CCSP) and Old= Salem. Each of the five movements of Locklair's composition for flute, violin, and piano was inspired by a specific painting in the collection of Reynolda House Museum of American Art. Dillon's work, for flute, violin, viola and cello, is a single-movement work that hews closely to a very simple theme in an unassuming manner. Other works on the program include Robert Ward's Appalachian Ditties and Dances for violin and piano, Alan Hirsh's Blue Ridge Suite for guitar and Elegy for Strings for violins, viola and cello by Kenneth Frazelle. Four of the five - Locklair, Dillon, Hirsh, and Frazelle - live in Winston-Salem. Performers on the Reynolda Reflections program are flutist Elizabeth Ransom, violinists Jacqui Carrasco and John Fadial; violist Scott Rawls; cellist Beth Vanderborgh; guitarist Joseph Pecoraro; and pianist Peter Kairoff. The Carolina Chamber Symphony Players, now in its 15th season, is committed to enriching the cultural life of our community by intimately engaging musicians and diverse audiences in the passionate performance of the finest chamber music of all periods. Admission to this concert is $20. A 'Meet the Composers' reception will be held immediately following the performance. For tickets, call the Old Salem Visitor Center at 336-721-7350. Tickets will also be available at the door.
