for an artist to complete the finished project? Have the
behind-the-scenes working of creative art studios always boggled your
mind? Can’t wait to get a sneak-peek of some of the most talented
artists and craftspeople in the area? Then, the Lebanon Valley Studio
and Gallery Tour is the event for you!
There isn’t much that compares to the
sound of young voices filling the air … that is, unless those young
voices are joined with the harmonies of the 35 adult members of the
Susquehanna Chorale — which will be exactly the case when the two
groups join together for their Annual Youth Chorale Festival.
On November 17, Market Square Church
will be the site for a performance of the world-renowned Emerson String
Quartet. Coming to the area as the featured act of the third annual
Pieter C. Kooistra Memorial Concert, the Emerson String Quartet will
perform Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 64, No. 5 ("Lark"), the
Quartet No. 2 (1998) by Ellen Taafe Zwilich, and Beethoven’s
monumental Op. 132 quartet.
Are you excited by the current chill in
the weather? Are you a huge fan of the arts? If you can’t wait for the
holiday season to begin, then the Art Association of Harrisburg has the
perfect solution for you. Starting December 4, the Art Association’s
galleries will be filled with its version of holiday offerings —
featuring oils, watercolors, drawings, photographs, and bronze
sculptures from some of the East Coast’s finest artists.
