It is held on the third Saturday of November from 10 a.m.–-5 p.m. at Mills Lawn Elementary School, 200 S. Walnut St. It is an intimate juried art fair with 30 artists from the region who gather in Yel- low Springs to exhibit and sell their fine arts and crafts for the day. The name Art & Soul was chosen because “artists put their souls into the making of their work.” Artists will have plenty of pot- tery, jewelry, fiber, paintings, photography, wood, glass and mixed media work available for sale. At times, Yellow Springs Schools students have had work displayed or sold their work as exhibiting artists. During the first three years of Art & Soul, show promot- ers donated over $2,300 to the Yellow Springs school system and Police Coat Fund. In addi- tion, in 2014, they began to donate to the Lisa Goldberg/YS Arts Scholarship Fund held by the YS Community Foundation. BRIDGE CONTAC T: Susan Freeman (Wednesday group), 767‑0235 EMA I L : sf7547@msn.com An informal duplicate bridge group meets Wednesdays, 6:30–10 p.m., in the great room of the Senior Center, 227 Xenia Avenue. CHAMBER MUSIC IN YELLOW SPRINGS CONTAC T: 374‑8800 EMA I L : info@cmys.org WE B : www.cmys.org Chamber Music in Yellow Springs has been bringing professional ensembles from all over the world since 1983. The organiza- tion’s mission is to enrich the musical life of the community. Funded by generous donors, local advertisers and subscriptions, CMYS is also the recipient of an Ohio Arts Council sustainability grant. Each season the local booking committee selects chamber music ensembles and chooses a theme. This year’s theme is “Experimental, Traditional, Histori- cal – and Kilts!” The four ensembles constitut- ing Chamber Music in Yellow Springs’ 2019– 20 season will bring a variety of delights for Miami Valley audiences. The 2019–20 season features concerts on Sept. 22, Oct. 27, Feb. 9, and March 22, concluding with CMYS’s An- nual Competition for Emerging Professional Ensembles on April 26, 2020. “Kilts” are the preferred performance garb of the Maxwell String Quartet, next up on Oct. 27. This “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” Scottish quartet has per- formed throughout the United Kingdom and across Europe. With a strong connection to its folk music heritage and a commitment to expanding the string quartet repertoire, the Maxwell String Quartet promises to “bring the same sense of charisma and sense of ad- venture [in] programming” to Yellow Springs that The New York Times praised at the group’s USA debut earlier this year. For the “Traditional” concert on Feb. 9, 2020, the Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio (virtuosos on piano, clarinet, and cello) will bring their love of chamber music and infectious musicality to works such as the Beethoven and Brahms Clarinet trios. At performances in Michigan, Philadelphia, New Orleans, St. Paul, Baltimore and New York City, the trio has been praised for “stel- lar playing from start to finish” (Baltimore Sun) and “spotless technique” (The New York Times). The “Historical” concert is March 22. For 18 years Cincinnati’s own Catacoustic Con- sort has provided truly unmatched access to the highest quality early music. Led by Artis- tic Director Annalisa Pappano, the Consort is dedicated to a historically informed approach featuring an understanding of the life and times when the music was originally played. It presents a variety of vocal and instrumental music from Renaissance chamber music to Baroque opera, performed on period instru- ments such as the viola da gamba, theorbo, harpsichord, Baroque guitar and lute. The Consort’s touring includes Colombia (South America), Madison Early Music Festival, Co- lumbus Early Music, Indiana State University and the University of Dayton. Opera News praised Catacoustic as “a constant source of delight,” noting its “rich” sound and the play- ers’ “evident rapport.” Finally, on April 26, the Annual Competi- tion will feature two young professional ensembles performing at their best for the CMYS audience and distinguished judges. The concert will begin at 5:30 p.m. to enable all audience members to stay for the judges’ final decision. Many past Competition win- ners (first- and second-place) have continued into successful international careers — and CMYS audiences got there first! In this, its 36th season, Chamber Music in Yellow Springs continues to fulfill its mission of presenting high-quality professional cham- ber music concerts, fostering community interest in chamber music, and enriching the musical life of the community. All concerts take place at the First Presbyterian Church, 314 Xenia Ave. (U.S. 68) in Yellow Springs. CMYS is grateful for support from its many individual donors, the Yellow Springs Com- munity Foundation and the Ohio Arts Coun- cil. Tickets and further information about the groups, their programs and the history of Chamber Music in Yellow Springs are avail- able at www.cmys.org or by phoning 937-374- 8800. Tickets are usually also available at the door. Season tickets for all five concerts are $100 for adults; single tickets are $25. Admis- sion is free for students and persons 25 and under.
