A Musical Offering

March 1978

Original portrait of pianist John Browning.

Pianist John Browning appears with members of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in A MUSICAL OFFERING Monday evening, March 6, at 8:00 p.m.

Mr. Browning performs three works by Mozart and Franck’s Quintet in F minor for Piano and Strings with the Giovanni String Quartet. George Sillies, principal Clarinet of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, and Sue Thomas present “Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano” by Berg. They will be joined by Symphony violinist Silvian Iticovici for Bartok’s “Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin and Piano.”

The MUSICAL OFFERING CHAMBER SERIES is presented by the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in Grace United Methodist Church, 6199 Waterman. Sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mark Twain Banks, the series offers each month a variety of chamber works featuring musicians from the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and its outstanding guest artists.

The concerts, presented in a small accoustically superb hall, recreate the intimate atmosphere for which chamber music was written.

Tickets for this concert are available at Powell Symphony Hall box office (534-1700) or at the performance. General admission is $5, student tickets are $3.
