		Their mandate is to present new music, and they do so with solid and enthusiastic performances and a refreshingly eclectic sense of no boundaries or rules.
		The music included a very polished new work by local composer Anthony Stark, two extended monologues for soprano and solo accompanying instrument (neither involving a piano), a piano-percussion duo and a jazzy ensemble piece full of charisma.
		From this mix, no grand conclusions about the state of music in the world, or Washington, emerged; but there was plenty of entertainment, and even those pieces that didn't quite work suggested the germ of something that might, with a little tweaking, be developed into new and superior compositions.

	Music of Washington's Time
		Washington, known to be a frequent concert-goer, must have been familiar with much of the music performed in his day.
		Washington was always a lover of the theatre, and attended it frequently from his early manhood in Virginia, where plays were given at Fredericksburg and Williamsburg.
		Although the music is not extant today, the libretto was printed in the Freeman's journal December 19, 1781, with the explanation that it had been performed "by a company of gentlemen and ladies in the hotel of the minister of France in the presence of his Excellency General Washington and his lady".

		I must say that the music of "Washington Square" is sincerely what won me over: the storyline is fine, it is difficult to watch (with Catherine so inept), but the music just absolutely made the movie for me: even if you don't for the movie at all, this music stands alone: decidedly recommended!
		I recently saw the Washington Square movie on Starz and although I thought that the movie was just ok (I prefer the version with Olivia DeHavilland "The Heiress") the music blew me away.
		When I saw the film I was enchanted with the music especially 'tu chiami una vita' I searched for the music thinking there must be a collection by Salvatore Quasimodo, but have not been able to find any recordings except on the movie's soundtrack.
