What better time and place to listen to a live concert? What better time and place to perform a live concert? "Musicians like to play in the afternoon," says George Sakakeeny, associate professor of bassoon at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and director of its Faculty Chamber Music Series. "That's when Horowitz always played, so why not?" The second concert of the series takes place Sunday, Nov. 12, at 4 p.m. in Finney Chapel. And, as with most Conservatory concerts, the Faculty Chamber Music Series concerts are free and open to the public. Founded seven years ago to showcase the Conservatory's faculty talent, the series schedules two performances each semester. "The faculty spends its time in teaching lessons, in rehearsals with student ensembles, in public master classes, and in performances throughout the U.S. and abroad, but we have few chances to perform together," says Sakakeeny. "Many of us look forward to performing here at home with colleagues and guests whose work we admire." The program for the next concert, on Feb. 18, will feature works by Brahms. The series concludes April 15 with a program of Bach, Tchaikovsky and Lester Trimble. By virtue of the Conservatory's collaboration with AT&T Labs, this concert will be available for webcast listening, via broadband streamed audio in AT&T's Advanced Audio Coding (aac) format, Monday, Nov. 13. AT&T's Verdi software is required in order to hear the webcast.
