The American Chamber ensemble Plays Peter Schickele celebrates the 40th anniversary of the American Chamber Ensemble, founded in 1965 by directors Blanche Abram, pianist and Naomi Drucker, clarinetist.  Dedicated to presenting, commissioning and recording American chamber music and especially the music of living composers, ACE turned to Peter Schickele as the composer whose music most represents a certain spirit and joy of life shared by the ensemble.
