Metropolitan Playhouse will ring in the new year with a concert of contrasts by the Golden Williams Duo, Gregory K. Williams -Viola and Diana Golden -Cello, as part of the MUSIC AT METROPOLITAN series. This ongoing series, now in its eighth season, presents a diverse collection of musicians and ensembles in Metropolitan’s intimate home, whose acoustics and size are ideally suited to chamber concerts and solo artists’ recitals. The concert will highlight compositions by five living composers.
