When the White Plains Performing Arts Center scrapped “Hello, Dolly!” last year, it spelled the end of a great experiment, a home to classic but rarely performed Broadway musicals.
Today, the WPPAC and the Westchester Philharmonic announced a series of chamber concerts at the City Center mall venue next to the multiplex.
The concerts will be Sunday matinees and feature musicians from the orchestra, which has Itzhak Perlman as its artistic director.
On Dec. 6, a brass quintet — Wayne duMaine and Sycil Mathai on trumpet and Lawrence DiBello on horn, Michael Seltzer on trombone, and Ray Stewart on tuba — will perform works that the announcement says will range “from baroque to pops to holiday favorites.”
On Feb 28, the Philharmonic’s string quartet — concertmaster Robert Chausow and Michael Roth on violins; Jessica Troy on viola; and Eugene Moye on cello — will play Mendelssohn and Haydn.
On March 28, Philharmonic percussionist Jim Saporito, pianist Ken Ascher and bassist Dick Sarpola play from The Great American Songbook and jazz originals from their new CD.
All concerts begin at 2 p.m. and WPPAC is exploring a brunch-menu arrangements with local restaurants. Single ticket are $35. Discounts are available. Call 914-328-1600 or visit www.wppac.com.
