The Lenfest Center for the Performing Arts at Washington and Lee University presents “Colorful Collage of Harmonies,” performed by the Marlbrook Chamber Players, at 3 p.m. on April 7 in the Wilson Concert Hall, followed by a reception in Lykes Atrium.

The performance is free and open to the public and will be streamed online at https://go.wlu.edu/livestream.

The Marlbrook Chamber Players is an all-women ensemble based in southern Virginia, and their performances are highly regarded for their variety, depth and richness of emotion. The ensemble includes Anna Billias on piano, Jaime McArdle on violin, and Julia Goudimova on cello; all three members are also lecturers in the Department of Music at W&L. For their April 7 performance, the Marlbrook Chamber Players will be joined by Megan Mason, assistant professor of music at Southern Virginia University, on viola.

With “Colorful Collage of Harmonies,” the Marlbrook Chamber Players will explore the rich harmonic colors of Eastern Europe, taking the audience on a journey through the classical and contemporary landscapes. The program features Erno Dohnanyi’s “Serenade for String Trio,” Arno Babajanian’s “Piano Trio,” and works by S. Lungul and Oleg Negruta.
