34 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 21, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Stamitz vs. Stamitz changes venues The Oakville Chamber Ensemble's Stamitz vs. Stamitz concert will be changing venues. The concert, slated for Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m., will now be held at Trafalgar Presbyterian Church on Litchfield Road. This church is located next door to St. Simon's, which is the ensemble's usual concert venue. The orchestra of the Oakville Chamber Ensemble will present a program of string music by Johann and Carl Stamitz. The concert features Three Manheim Symphonies by Johann Stamitz and two orchestral quartets by Carl Stamitz. The Stamitz family provides a musical link from the baroque of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, to the classical era of Mozart and Haydn. By contrasting the senior Stamitz with the junior Stamitz, it's possible to hear how, with a span of a few years, music compositions changed and the forms expanded. The ensemble offers these works in a setting that reflects the intent of composers. The Oakville Chamber Ensemble is a small group of musicians playing together with verve, passion, energy, tenderness and enthusiasm. Tickets to the Oakville Chamber Ensemble's Stamitz vs. Stamitz concert cost $25, $15 for seniors and students, and $5 for kids 15 and under. For tickets, call 905-522-6841, or e-mail Oakville-ensemble@sympatico.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door on concert night.
