The permanent core of the Scharoun En-
semble is a classical octet (clarinet, bassoon,
horn, two violins, viola, cello and double
bass), made up entirely of members of the
Berlin Philharmonic. When called for, the en-
semble brings in additional instrumentalists
as well as noted conductors. The Scharoun
Ensemble has prepared and presented
various programmes under the direction
of Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle, Dan-
iel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez. It has also
performed with singers including Thomas
Quasthoff, Simon Keenlyside and Barbara
Hannigan, and, for interdisciplinary projects,
the ensemble has engaged such artists as
Fanny Ardant, Loriot and Dominique Hor-
witz.

World Day of Reptiles
at Anniston Museum – 11am
There are an estimated 10,000 species of
reptiles throughout the world. Being limited
to a warm climate, due to their cold-blooded
nature, reptiles are surprisingly adapted to
survive and find the safest nooks and cran-
nies. Reptiles are found under rocks and high
in the trees depending on their needs. Join
us as we welcome Stephen Faughn, County
Extension Agent for the Alabama Coopera-
tive Extension System, to the Anniston Mu-
seum as he discusses the wonderful world of
reptiles with live examples! This program is
included with museum admission. Seating is
limited. Auditorium doors open at 10:45 AM.
