 Winterfest 31

DEAN SHOSTAK'S

CRYSTAL CONCERT


February 25th, 2012
 


Attend a Wine and Cheese Reception at Ker Place Before the Performance
Hours: 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm


Historic Cokesbury Church
Market & West Streets
Onancock, VA



The Crystal Concert is an ever-changing showcase of music made with glass instruments, ranging from Mozart and Beethoven to modern day favorites. The instruments include glass bells, a glass violin and a rare and beautiful glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761.

Before the performance, ACES and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society will host a wine and cheese reception at Ker Place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Both venues are on Market Street in Onancock. The reception is open to those who hold tickets for the performance or who buy tickets at the reception. Dean Shostak will be at the reception.

Dean, one of only eight in the world who play the glass armonica, is credited with bringing the lost art of playing this instrument back to Williamsburg, where it was performed on many occasions more than 200 years ago. Instead of using an electric motor to spin the glasses, Dean is the only glass armonica player since the 18th century to use a flywheel and foot treadle as Franklin originally designed.

The Virginia Commission for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, United Way, and ACES memberships sponsor this event.

Tickets can be purchased at the Book Bin (Onley), Rayfield's Pharmacy (Nassawadox and Cape Charles), C. D. Marsh, Jeweler (Onancock), H & H Pharmacy (Chincoteague and Oak Hall) for $20 and at the door for $22. Student tickets are $5. For information, call 757-302-0366, click on acesva.org, or email infoaces@verizon.net.

The ACES season includes two other performances: the Virginia Symphony on March 24 and concert pianist Thomas Pandolfi on April 21 -- both at Nandua High School at 8 p.m.
