Area All Seasons performance will honor Quackenbushes
All Seasons Chamber Players
The congregation of Saint Elizabeth’s
Memorial Chapel, 38 Chapel Turn, Eagle
Valley in Tuxedo, New York, will present
the All Seasons Chamber Players in a spe-
cial Memorial Concert in honor of Betty
and Dave Quackenbush on Sunday, Jan.
5 at 3 p.m. Freewill contributions will be
accepted at the door. A Meet-the-Artists
Reception will be held after the concert in
the Parish House across from the chapel.
The chapel will be decorated with poinset-
tias and greens for the holidays and offers
glorious acoustics and a historic setting for
chamber music.
The All Seasons Chamber Players has
had a long relationship with Betty and Dave
Quackenbush, long-time members of the
chapel, who brought the ensemble to per-
form for 16 concerts dating back to 1995.
The ensemble is pleased to perform this
concert in recognition of the encourage-
ment, support, and musical advice offered
by the Quackenbushes for concerts at Saint
Elizabeth’s Chapel. Both Betty and Dave
Quackenbush were recently buried on the
grounds of St. Elizabeth’s.
The All Seasons ensemble will use its
Flemish harpsichord in combination with
flute and strings to perform music from the
17 th to the 20 th century. The program, “From
Marais to Martinu,” will include works
for flute, violin, cello, and harpsichord
by Marais, Vivaldi, J.S. Bach, J.C. Bach,
Handel, Telemann, and Martinu. It will
close with the “Pastorale” from Corelli’s
“Christmas Concerto,” a favorite of Betty
and Dave Quackenbush.
The All Seasons Chamber Players are
professional musicians who also perform
with area orchestras, Broadway shows, and
summer music festivals. Now in its 33 rd
season, the ensemble has performed over
700 concerts throughout the metropolitan
area. Performers will include flutist Brenda
Sakofsky, violinist Robert Lawrence, cel-
list E. Zoe Hassman, harpsichordist Ron
Levy, and harpsichordist Jean Strickholm
of Demarest. A full schedule of the ensem-
ble’s concerts is listed online at www.all-
seasonschamberplayers.org. Saint Elizabeth’s was built as a family
chapel on the estate of the descendants of J.
Pierpont Morgan and Alexander Hamilton.
The stone chapel was named after Eliza-
beth Schuyler Hamilton, who died at 11 in
the influenza epidemic after World War I.
The building combines elements of 16 th and
17 th century design. The chapel has a long
tradition of providing free concerts for the
public. All are welcome. For information
