January 2008 Home Concert

Bruce Continues his double-duties as Board Member and Blog Contributor:

On Saturday, January 19, 2008, at 8:00 pm, the Sacramento Saturday Club held its January Home Concert at the beautiful and spacious Bradshaw residence.

Merlin and Arlene Bradshaw were the perfect host and hostess, and, once again, Arlene Bradshaw and Joan McCloud, the Hospitality duo par excellence, provided club members with tempting pastries and beverages.


The group Duo Concertante, comprised of violinist Anita Fetsch Felix, and her father, pianist Wolfgang Fetsch, were the featured performers for the evening. With flair, precision, and feeling, they played Beethoven’s Sonata for violin and piano in G Major, Op. 96; Max Bruch’s Violin concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26; and Andre Previn’s Dance.






How fortunate we are to have such members!

Recruiting for SSC

John Cozza contacted the marketing director for the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and arranged for Sacramento Saturday Club representatives to provide Philharmonic audience members with information about the Sacramento Saturday Club. On January twelfth, John Cozza and Bruce Hubbard attended the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra's Bravo Beethoven performance, which is part of their Great Works Series. The program was comprised of three wonderful pieces: Prometheus, Op. 43, Triple Concerto in C Major, Op. 56, - Susan Lamb Cook, a Sacramento Saturday Club performing member was the 'cellist in this concerto and she did a wonderful job!- and the "Eroic," Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55.

Prior to the performance and during the intermission, John and Bruce handed out pamphlets and applications and answered questions from attendees who wanted to learn more about the Sacramento Saturday Club. It is hoped that this effort will lead to a greater SSC membership base and the ability to provide music students with larger scholarship awards.
