Written by Kathleen Suss, Executive Director, Concordia Conservatory of Music & Art
Oct. 15, 2014: Concordia Conservatory of Music & Art will present its opening concert of the thirteenth season of the Hoch Chamber Music Series with "A Night in Germany, an Oktoberfest of Chamber Music" on October 18 at 7:00 pm at the Sommer Center for Worship and the Performing Arts at Concordia College.
The concert will feature the artistic director of the Hoch Series, Grammy Award-winning violist Lawrence Dutton of the Emerson String Quartet. Dutton will be joined by violinists Elizabeth Lim-Dutton, Andy Bhasin, and Kiwon Nahm, cellists Nicholas Canellakis, Andrew Janss, and Evelyn Watkins, violists Kathryn Lockwood and Pierre Lapointe, pianist Michael Brown, harpsichordist/pianist Marija Ilic, and soprano Sun Young Chang.
The concert includes works by great German composers including J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 3 and 6, Robert Schumann's "Der Nussbaum" and "Widmung," and his Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Opus 47.
Lawrence Dutton has served as the artistic director of the Hoch Chamber Music Series for thirteen years, transforming the series into a world-class chamber music series with an eclectic mix of repertoire and artists. Hailed as a "poet violist" (the New Yorker), he has been the violist of the Emerson String Quartet for over three decades and has earned distinction performing more than 100 concerts each season throughout the United States and abroad. Dutton's unparalleled list of achievements with the quartet includes more than 30 acclaimed recordings since 1987, nine Grammy Awards, and collaborations with some of the greatest artists of our time. Dutton is a professor of viola and chamber music at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the Manhattan School of Music.
Tickets for the concert are $32 for adults and $16 for seniors and children. For more information, call the conservatory's office at 914-395-4507 or order tickets online at www.concordiaconservatory.org.

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
