Concert in the Museum with SATORI

SATORI is a classical chamber music ensemble, based in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, and playing both traditional and contemporary chamber music. The group is currently in its 27th season, with a repertoire ranging from baroque to 21st century selections. SATORI’s name is taken from a Zen term suggesting the coming together of separate parts to form a whole---a perfect metaphor for chamber Music.

This concert in the Museum of the Moravian Historical Society will feature Rebecaa Brown, violin; Elizabeth Mendoza, cello; and Nora Suggs, flute. Their repertoire will include compositions by John Antes as well as other 18th-century works.

She currently plays with Philadelphia’s Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra and the Chanticleer String Quartet, and serves as principal cellist with the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra, and the New Jersey Bay-Atlantic Symphony.
