On Monday, February 3 at 12:30 PM, the “First Mondays” chamber concert returns to the Porter Center (Brevard College) featuring three esteemed BMC faculty members—Eric Ohlsson (oboe), Deloise Chagas Lima (piano), and Dilshad Posnock (flute)—in an exquisite program of four masterful chamber works: Telemann’s Trio in e minor for Flute, Oboe and Continuo, Cimarosa’s Concerto for Oboe and Strings, Dring’s Three Piece Suite, and Saint Saëns’s Sonata for Oboe and Piano.
