Fair Haven’s a-happening. Tonight (Friday the 14th) was the final performance of the Bregamos Theatre Company’s production of the political parable A Peasant in El Salvador.
On Saturday the 15th at 7 p.m. in St. Francis Church, 397 Ferry Street, the chamber quartet Solisti Saint Francis evokes the 18th century with works by J.S. Bach, Rameau, Telemann and Vivaldi. The performers are Gary Bennett on bassoon, Libby Van Cleve on oboe, Peter Standaart on flute and Britt Wheeler on harpsichord (although the photo on the event’s promo flier depicts the elegant St. Francis organ). These players’ community musical activities are widespread, from the Yale-based Oral History of American Music project to the St. Gregory Society which provides music for Latin church masses. Some of them are regulars at the celebrated neighborhoods concert in Wooster Square. Spreading their magic to Fair Haven has been a gift for the whole city. And anybody playing Telemann anywhere is automatically cool.
