On a lovely almost spring day, seven pianists and a violinist gathered to share their music at Jodi Lipson’s lovely home in Bethesda. Many of the usual suspects were represented: Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Handel, and Grieg. There were also selections from two Spanish composers, Mateo Albeniz and Frederic Mompou and a Native American composer, Connor Chee. 

The next Intermezzo is scheduled for June 7th. If you are interested in participating, contact Joan Magagna at jmagagna@amsfperform.org.
