"Babette Hierholzer and Friends"
A Classical Concert

We were privileged to have a biennial benefit concert by world renowned pianist Babette Hierholzer.

A local resident, Babette arranges for other talented performers to join her in an extraordinary evening of classical music.

The 2008 concert was part of our summer concert series during the stay of our German guests.  It took place July 13, 2008 at the Church of the Messiah in Rhinebeck. Soprano Nancy Allen Lundy articipated. The program was mostly music by Franz Schubert and included the "Trout" Quintet performed with some of the visiting German music masters.
