Audiences can expect lively playing and provoca- tive selections from pianistllecturer Jacqueline Schwab, the famed Greitzer Ensemble, renaissance specialists Hesperus, and harpist Sonja Inglefield. For her Sundays of Note debut on October 4, Ms. Schwab will play ball- room and popular dance tunes from the 1860s, in honor of Western Maryland's continuing celebration of its 125th anni- versary. The concert will take place in the intimate salon setting provided by McDaniel Lounge. On November 8, the Greitzer En- semble will perform chamber favorites and salon surprises in Baker Memorial Chapel. For its Sundays of Note appearance, Hesperus will be in its crossover guise. The performance will take place on Feb- ruary 21 in McDaniel Lounge. The season's final performer, harpist Sonja Inglefield, is becoming a fixture on the area music scene as a student at the Peabody Conservatory and as a first- place finisher in the 1992 Yale Gordon Concerto Competition at the Peabody Institute. On April 18, Ms. Inglefield will present a program of traditional and new music for the harp. The concert will take place in the historic (Little) Baker Chapel. The Sundays of Note series is jointly sponsored by the Western Maryland Col- lege Department of Music and the Peggy and Yale Gordon Trust. The Peggy and Yale Gordon Trust was established pri- marily to provide support for various cul- tural and educational institutions in and around metropolitan Baltimore.
