\"Sarah

Sarah Pelletier<\/p><\/div>A concert of music by American, French and Czech composers featuring acclaimed soprano Sarah Pelletier of Scotch Plains, NJ, and pianist Lois Shapiro of Watertown, will be hosted by the Essex Chamber Music Players (ECMP) at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, in the Hartleb Technology Center on Northern Essex Community College\u2019s Haverhill campus, 100 Elliot St.<\/p>\n

Pelletier and Shapiro, known for their beautiful, insightful, and richly sensitive performances, will perform \u201cJehovah\u2019s Watch\u201d by Amherst resident Eric Sawyer, music professor of composition at Amherst College. The piece is based on six Emily Dickinson poems and is in keeping with ECMP\u2019s theme of music about local cultural history. Sawyer previously composed \u201cEarthly Store\u201d for ECMP inspired by works of Valley poet and Andover early settler Anne Bradstreet. <\/p>\n

Also on the program are Ravel\u2019s \u201cChansons Mad\u00e9casses\u201d, based on exotic poems of 18th century Creole poet Evariste-D\u00e9sir\u00e9 de Parny; three Gershwin preludes and two songs from \u201cPorgy and Bess\u201d arranged by ECMP cellist Emmanuel Feldman of Newton; and Czerny\u2019s \u201cFantasia Concertante\u201d.<\/p>\n

Flutist Michael Finegold, of Andover, ECMP\u2019s artistic director, said he invited Pelletier and Shapiro to perform with ECMP because, \u201cI heard them perform Sawyer\u2019s \u2018Jehovah\u2019s Watch\u2019 at Wellesley College last spring and was elated and enriched by the beautiful work and performance.\u201d <\/p>\n

General admission tickets are $15, seniors $10, students $5; NECC students with college ID are free.
\nThe Essex Chamber Music Players are in residence at NECC.<\/p>\n
