Chamber music society plans eclectic 2009-10 program

The Chamber #Music Society of Detroit will welcome back several old friends in the 2009-10 season, along with a fast-rising young pianist. And one beloved show business veteran is making his highly unusual debut on a chamber music series. Can you say Alan Alda? The actor, memoirist and all-around Renaissance man will join violinist Arnold Steinhardt for a program on March 20, 2010, celebrating Bach's "Chaconne," the Olympian final movement of the composer's Partita for Solo Violin in D Minor. Steinhardt, who has written movingly about the piece in his book "Violin Dreams," will be joined on stage by Alda for a discussion about Bach's piece, artistic development and issues that transcend genres of music, stage and screen performance. Steinhardt will perform the "Chaconne" and complementary music by Bach and perhaps others. freep.com
