The BPA Chamber Music Series starts with Inspired by Dance, 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23 at Bainbridge Performing Arts.

Local musicians and chamber music enthusiasts gather together for lively afternoons of performance and discovery as three seasonal concerts highlight a mixture of strings, winds, vocal, and piano repertoire. The opening program in the series features rhythms and dance forms, both ancient and modern, that inspire much of the classical repertoire. The concert includes works by Norman Bolter, Paul Harris, Francis Poulenc, Peter Schickele, Tielman Susato, Emmanuel Chabrier and Julio Medaglia.

Performers will include Patricia Beasley (clarinet), Susan Bray (harpsichord), Samuel Brodsky (piano), Suzanne Burton (flute), Gary Dahl (conductor), Wade Demmert (trombone), Barbara Deppe (cello), Amy Duerr-Day (oboe), Daniel Foreman (Trombone), Ron Gilbert (horn), Lisa Hiyarama (flute), Judith Lawrence (bassoon), Andrew Morgan (clarinet), Shelley Reiss (oboe), Dan Schmidt (trumpet), George Steward (trumpet), Chuck Weise (trombone), and Malcom West (percussion).
