White House faves

The program includes Beethoven’s Cello Sonata No. 3 in A Major; Johnston’s String Quartet No. 4 Amazing Graces; Threnody I & II by Copland; and Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor. The concert will be preceded by a tour of the exhibition at 5 p.m. Following the performance, there will be a reception with the musicians. Tickets are $35; $25 for museum members. Advance reservations are required and can be made online at www.worcesterart.org or by calling (508) 799-4406, ext. 3111. There will also be a limited number of tickets available for “student rush” ($10 at the door). (Richard Duckett)
