Join Pelham Art Center for a
Thursday evening gallery concert
with Westchester-based group Angels
in the Chamber, March 12, at 7
p.m.
The Music of Angels in the Chamber
is unique under the heavens. Featuring
Garry Novikoff (piano/guitar/
lead vocals), Pamela Sklar (fl ute/
alto fl ute), Enid Blount Press (clarinet/
bass clarinet), and Marc Wager
(French horn), the band weaves elements
of rock, pop, classical, improvisational
and atmospheric music
into a highly original genre all its
own. Their material co-features originals
as well as inventive covers from
the 1960s and 70s – the golden age of
what was called art rock or progressive
rock. They also go back in time
to reinvent and re-imagine works
from the Civil War era.
Angels in the Chamber were featured
fi nalists in the WNYC Battle of
the Boroughs Concert at the Greene
Space hosted by WQXR DJ Terrance
McNight and were also featured
on Robert Sherman’s radio show
Woody’s Children on WFUV in New
York. Other recent performances include
Nyack and New York City clubs
and New Rochelle venues. Released
in December, 2018, their debut recording
Angels in the Chamber is fastgaining
recognition in Westchester
and beyond.
All four members of Angels in the
Chamber call New Rochelle home,
and look forward to sharing their
unique sound with the local community.
Guests are welcome to stay after
the performance to enjoy wine, meet
the musicians, and view the gallery
exhibition ‘Pelham Art Center: 50
Years.’ Gallery concerts are open to
the public. There is a suggested $10
donation to Pelham Art Center. Pelham
