art and craft of mother-and-son
team Debbie and Sam Harmon.
On display will be a rotating se-
lection of paintings, hand-paint-
ed furniture, cards, gifts and cre-
ative goods to inspire the home
and garden. Debbie Harmon’s
work continues to be an exten-
sion to her relationship with the
natural world, and often involves
the reuse of forgotten objects.
Sam Harmon uses layers of paint
in depictions of nature as a meta-
phor for perception.
The gallery is located on the
upper end of Laneda Avenue,
part of the up-and-coming arts
district anchored by the Hoffman
Center. Find the gallery between
the artist’s home and garden at
128 Division St., open from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through
Sunday and by appointment.

bassoon, cello and harpsichord
by 18th century luminaries as
Mozart, Handel and Telemann.
Included in the program are
French, German, Italian and En-
glish compositions from the height
of the baroque period, including
two trio sonatas by German com-
poser George Philipp Telemann.
German composer Jan Dismas
Zelenka will be represented by a
movement from his Sonata II in C
Minor. Mozart will also be repre-
sented with his Divertimento.
The French take their place on
the program with trio sonatas by
Jean Baptiste Loeillet and Joseph
Bodinde Boismortier. The lone
Italian on the program is Pietro
Antonio Locatelli. His Sonata XII
in G Major is a complex and live-
ly canon for four instruments.
The English are represented
by a solo sonata performed by
Hannelore Morgan on alto re-
corder and Ray Lund on harpsi-
chord as well as a fugue by Wil-
liam Corbett performed by the
ensemble. Rounding out the pro-
gram are traditional British tunes
sung by baritone Drew Herzig.
The Consort of All Sorts in-
cludes six musicians from As-
toria and the Long Beach Pen-
insula: Phyllis Taylor on cello,

Carson on bassoon, Ray Lund
on harpsichord and Herzig as
vocalist.
In the realm of music, “consort”
is an antiquated term for a group
of instruments or voices; a good
match for this group and a name
that allows for the addition of other
instruments as they are needed.
The concert is free; donations
are welcome to help support the
Astoria Warming Center and the
Food Pantry operated by Grace
Episcopal Church. The Warm-
ing Center recently provided a
warm, safe place for the home-
less during the coldest nights of
the winter.
