They will be performing works by Gaubert, J. S. Bach, Boulanger, Reinecke, Chopin, and others.&nbsp; We are excited and privileged to be presenting them at The Musical Club of Hartford. ​<a href="https://musicalclubhartford.org/files/250403_Program.pdf" alt="Here is the program for today's concert.">Here is the program for today's concert.</a>​<a href="https://musicalclubhartford.org/files/250403_Bios.pdf" alt="Click here to see the musical biographies of today's performers." class="on">Click here to see the musical biographies of today's performers.</a> We hope you will join us after this special concert in fellowship hall for coffee and an opportunity to meet our featured artists.
