About the Musicians: The musicians of Ashmont Hill, some of whom have been playing together since the 
organization’s inception, are among Boston’s finest musicians, with other 
affiliations as the Chair of the String Department of Boston University (Ms. 
LaCourse), the Boston Symphony Orchestra (Ms. Bracken), a former member of the 
Diabelli String Quartet (Brian Snow), and Rachel Goodwin (piano) is a performer, 
a teacher, and a resident of Ashmont Hill who is committed to the community’s 
cultural growth. “There was a lovely grace and bloom…good friends all from the sound of it,” (Patriot Ledger).


About the Program: Ravel piece is a dazzlingly virtuosic work intended to establish the greatness of French music once and 
for all.Smetana's work is charged with personal grief over growing deafness and the death of a beloved daughter.
Rebecca Clarke's music has been called "among the very best of her time." The work of Gabriela Lena Frank 
reflects her Peruvian-Jewish-Chinese heritage. The Cinco Danzas de Chambi is based on the work of 
Peruvian photographer Martin Chambi and uses Peruvian folk music, evokes the sound of indigenous 
instruments, and illustrates the culture in a striking and unique way. The program will feature each string 
player in duo with piano as well as together in ensemble.



About the Hall: The acoustics of Peabody Hall are perfectly matched to the color of the stringed 
instrument.
