FOUNTAIN ENSEMBLE POURS INTO KING'S, NOV. 10

November 3, 2005 – Fountain Ensemble, one of its generation's most accomplished and versatile chamber music groups, will perform a variety of compositions ranging from Baroque to contemporary classics at King’s College on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center, located between North Main and North Franklin streets.
 
The Fountain Ensemble performs on violin, viola, cello, and clarinet. They have performed widely in the U.S. including several engagements in Carnegie Hall. They are the winner of the 2004 Artists International’s New York Debut Award and also received honors at the Concert Artists Guild and Chesapeake Chamber Music Competitions.
 
The group, consisting of Anna Elashvili, Yonah Zur, Michael Angelo Larco, Alistair MacRae, and Gilad Harel, is the musical nucleus and leadership of the Fountain Chamber Music Society, an innovative group of up to 15 players combining strings, winds, voice, piano, and percussion. Fountain Ensemble and members of the Chamber Music Society have recorded music for two animated short films produced by The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall.
 
The group’s performance is part of King’s Experiencing the Arts series. For more information, visit “Experiencing the Arts Calendar” at www.kings.edu <http://www.kings.edu/pr/releases/2-05/www.kings.edu>  or contact Robert Yenkowski at (570) 208-5900, ext. 6044; e-mail rayenkow@kings.edu.
