Classical Salon Series - Sally Pinkas and Friends

Join us for intimate classical duets with the Hop's musical mavens. This series of romantic and evocative living room concerts features beloved Hop artists Sally Pinkas, Pianist-in-residence, along with her husband and fellow pianist Evan Hirsch; and Filippo Ciabatti, Director of the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra. Cozy up to the silvery and graceful flute, the warm and dark viola, and the salon favorite, the piano duet. In our first episode, Sally and Evan are joined by violist Lila Brown and flutist Melissa Richmond. Works will include that of Robert Schumann, Carl Reinecke, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Lili Boulanger, Daniel Pinkham and Ross Lee Finney. After the show, stay online for a live chat moderated by Filippo. Hop Director Mary Lou Aleskie chats with Melissa Richmond, who is also the Founder and Executive Director of the West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts, about the Center's growth and evolution. Feel free to submit your questions in the live chat!
