Last night I had the opportunity to listen to the NY Philharmonic Quintet. This consists of Mark Nuccio (clarinet), Sherry Sylar (oboe), Erik Ralske (horn), Judith Leclair (bassoon) and Robert Langevin (flute). The concert took place at the First Presbyterian Church of Durham. I have to say, the choice of venue is quite nice, as it's atypical. The program for the evening even mentions that the acoustics of the church are such that for an empty hall, the reverberations are 3.5 seconds with no audience, and 2.5 seconds with full seating. After the concert, the former principal oboist of the NY Philharmonic mentioned to me that he thought the reverbs were a little too much for the last piece, and perhaps they should have placed a carpet in front of the performers to "dampen it a bit!"
