Berkeley was a good friends with Britten, and studied Ravel.  Once one of the most popular horn trios, the Berkeley deserves more performances and Classically Alive is glad to do so.  =0D=0A==0D=0A=The program rounds out with the Myra Hess piano transcription of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Pianist Dame Myra Hess garnered special fame during World War II when, with all concert halls blacked out at night to avoid being targets of German bombers, she organized what would turn out to be some 1700 lunchtime concerts spanning a period of six years. The concerts were held at the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square; Hess herself played in ' of them. For this contribution to maintaining the morale of the populace of London, King George VI awarded her with the  Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE) in 1941; having previously been created a CBE in 1936.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.=0D=0A=
