David Singer’s reputation as one of the most highly-respected clarinetists in the U.S. has been established through performances and recordings as principal clarinetist of the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, two separate performances at the White House and in chamber music performances with some of the greatest musicians of our time, including Yo-Yo Ma, Yehudi Menuhin, and Rudolf Serkin.
Ann Erwin has performed with the San Diego Symphony and Opera Orchestras, Santa Barbara Symphony Orchestra, New Hampshire Music Festival and Santa Barbara Chamber Music Festival. She is currently principal flute of San Diego’s Classics Philharmonic and a member of the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra.
Fredric Beerstein, oboe instructor at California Lutheran University, is a member of the New West Symphony, as well as the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic and the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra. He has also performed with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra on tour and the Pacific Symphony Orchestra.
The performance will take place in the main library space, and is sponsored by the Ojai Valley Library Friends & Foundation. This event is free and open to the public.
