WINTER PARK - The Albin Polasek
Museum & Sculpture Gardens presents the final of three classical
music concerts on March 11, at 5 p.m. Held in the elegant Salon
of the Polasek residence, concertgoers will experience an atmosphere
of acoustic perfection and social sophistication, highlighted by

The performance will include the very popular La
primavera (Spring) from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four
Seasons; Syrinx (Flûte de Pan) for solo flute by Claude
Debussy; Sonata No. 1 in G minor by J. S. Bach; and Trio
for Flute, Viola and Bass by Czech composer Ervin Schulhoff.
