Beautiful quintets for strings, flute and guitar. Repertoire: Gaspard Kummer Flute Quintet in D Major and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Guitar Quintet. Beautiful melodies are woven among the players in the rarely heard 19th-century flute quintet by Kummer (which we discovered in the Library of Congress). Some hidden surprises (a Woody Woodpecker cartoon theme!) are found in Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s guitar quintet.

In collaboration with Brucemore

Seven Score and Ten: Part II

Saturday, February 22, 2014

8 p.m.

At Historic Brucemore
2160 Linden Drive SE,
Cedar Rapids, IA

Jan Boland (wooden flute)
John Dowdall (gut-strung guitar)
Michael Zahs (historian, narrator)


The sesquicentennial of the American Civil War is being observed. From fife calls that signaled battlefield maneuvers, to campfire songs sung by homesick soldiers, music played an important part of that tumultuous period in our history 150 years ago. Readings from unpublished Civil War letters are woven into the concert narrative. Performed on antique musical instruments from the period (gut strung guitar and wooden flutes). Experience an intimate parlor concert presented at Brucemore – built just 20 years after the end of the war. (photo by Len Struttmann.)

Tickets $35. Call Brucemore ticket office at 362-7375. Tickets also available online at www.brucemore.org

Through the premiere of a new chamber music work around the theme "rivers" by Iowa native Michael Gilbertson, we acknowledge the Mississippi River, its folklore & history and its tributaries. This project reaches out to those who live along our Iowa rivers. The four evening concerts are held in Iowa towns with profound interest in rivers – either sitting on the west bank of the Mississippi River or on tributaries like the Cedar River that join this great river. These four towns have witnessed both the rivers’ beauty and destructive powers.

This concert is sponsored by the Augustine Foundation.
