Music at Bunker Hill opened its fourth season on Oct. 16 with a concert by John Dalley and Peter Wiley, former members of the Guarneri Quartet, and pianist Anna Polonsky, who plays with such notable musicians as Michael Tree, Anthony McGill, Ida Kavafian, Arnold Steinhardt, and her husband, pianist Orion Weiss. Dalley and Wiley had performed the previous week in a benefit concert for Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, then they drove down following a NYC performance to play in South Jersey. Polonsky flew in from Chicago to perform, then enjoyed a few days at her home before jetting off to perform in Alabama and California.
The concert began with two Beethoven works: Variations in Eb for Piano Trio, Op 44, followed by Peter Wiley performing Cello Sonata in A Major, Op 69. The performances were received with hearty applause and standing ovations. Audience members commented: “What a privilege to Wash. Twp. that you present such artists as Dalley, Wiley & Polonsky…” “Marvelous ensemble playing.” “Lively and highly enjoyable.” “The music fills me with great joy- all else is forgotten.”
Artistic Director of Music at Bunker Hill William Frampton joined the group to perform Faure’s Piano Quartet in c minor as a rousing finale. During the pre-concert sound check, the performers revealed their admiration for the Faure’s melodies and musical construction, and the fact that it does not appear often on their programs. They enjoyed performing as much as the audience enjoyed listening and will perform this quartet again in April in NYC. A subscriber from Deptford, NJ commented, “Every concert is outstanding with absolute professional musicians.”
