Musica Harmonia
Group members are Joan Griffing, violin; Lynne Mackey, piano; Diane Phoenix-Neal, viola; Les Nicholas, clarinet; and Beth Vanderborgh, cello.
They will perform by “Piano Quartet No. 1 in g minor, K 478” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; “Fairy Tales (Marchenerzahlungen), Op. 132” by Robert Schumann for clarinet, viola and piano; and “Letters to the World,” a piano quartet by Gwyneth Walker.

Working for peace and understanding through music
Musica Harmonia was newly formed in 2007. The musicians, who met through the Eastern Music Festival in Greensboro, N.C., come together in this ensemble with a goal to promote peace and cultural understanding through musical collaboration.
They all have experienced life in many countries of the world including Brazil, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and the USA.
