In concert - Wedesday, Dec. 4 at 7 pm in the Lower Room Gallery

CIAO! is a new string ensemble directed by Jimmy Bergin.  The musicians are students from grades 5 and up as well as adults.  The concert will feature a wide range of music including: Bach chorales; concerti by Telemann and Vivaldi;  fanfares by Mouret; folk music of Hungary, Israel, and Italy; old-time favorites Sweet Georgia Brown, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and Ain't She Sweet.

A key part of the group's mission is to support local outreach efforts, and so while admission to the concert is free, we are asking for donations of any amount that will be given to the Berkshire Food Project and the Friendship Center Food Pantry.  The concert will be held in the Lower Room Gallery at St. John's, which is currently the site of an exhibition of paintings and collages by Williamstown artist Alison Kolesar; all of the proceeds from sales of works from this exhibition are also being donated to these two local agencies.

Please come and bring your friends and family - children are welcome, a great chance to see and hear instruments close up!


Refreshments will follow this one-hour concert!
