Faulkner Chamber Music Festival has been providing chamber music education to students in and out of Arkansas for the past 5 summers. We are based in Conway and are hosting our 2nd annual fund raiser event - Preview Recital 2012 - to benefit the festival by providing scholarships and new musical opportunities for our students. This year we are celebrating chamber music by jumping on the silent film bandwagon. With the recent success of the film, 'The Artist', our faculty and guest musicians will perform along to 2 short silent films. Our doors will open at 4pm, at which point the guests can enjoy bidding on 40+ silent auction items, taste our signature beverages and hors d'oeuvres, participating in raffles for both the 'fish bowl' and the 'big ticket' items, all while listening to 3 of our students play great chamber music. At 5:15pm, the performance on stage will begin with musicians from both the ASO and Trio Arkansas, performing excerpts from Ravel, Bottesini, and Schubert chamber repertoire. On screen, we will be joined by Charlie Chaplin and Charlie Chase as we travel back to the 1920s.
