March 24, 2000 -- The Albemarle Ensemble and Rivanna Quartet appear for their final concert on the McIntire Chamber Music Series on Sunday, March 26, at 3:30 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall.

Special guest Paul Neebe, trumpet, will be featured in Saint Saens, Septet for Trumpet, Strings and Piano. Neebe was most recently heard soloing with the Charlottesville University Symphony in January. Joining him will be Mimi Tung, piano, and Pete Spaar, bass.

Ensemble members include Margaret Newcomb, flute, Kirsten Lipkens, oboe, Nancy Garlick, clarinet, Dwight Purvis, horn and Valentin Martchev, bassoon. The Mendelssohn Quartet in e minor, opus 44, No. 2 will conclude the concert by the Rivanna Quartet.

The quartet was written during a felicitous period in the composer's life. He was on his honeymoon while enjoying international esteem as conductor and composer. Rivanna Quartet members include Katherine Winterstein and Susan Black, violins, Richard Baritaud, viola, and Paige Riggs, cello.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for students, 5 ARTS$ for U.Va. students, and free for high school students. Tickets may be purchased at the Old Cabell Hall box office by calling 924-3984.
