title “Lafayette Plays Lafayette” features the Canadian Lafayette String

his quartet, “Fox Hollow”. Rounding out the program will be the string quintet,
op. 97 by Antonin Dvorak, nicknamed the “American”.  The Gold Coast Chamber Players are known for
their engaging and vibrant performances and audiences have been responding with
such enthusiasm that tickets are at a premium
