Gabriel Chamber Ensemble Celebrates

Our 34th Season In Schuylkill County

Thank you, Gerall!

We want to sincerely thank Gerall Hieser for her 32 years of talent musicality, and heartfelt dedication to the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble.

Gerall’s contribution to this ensemble has been paramount in the growth and success of this organization. The many years of friendship, laughter, and music-making has brought the musicians of the GCE and its audience closer together, and we cannot thank her enough for her time and many talents she has shared with us over the years.

From all of us here at the GCE – musicians, Board members, and patrons, we send Gerall the warmest of wishes and best of luck in her future musical endeavors.

To my friends and GCE audience,
 

I shall miss all of you more than you will ever know. Every concert I played here felt like I’d just come home to my family! There is no way to thanks you enough for your support through these many years. I wish you many more years of fabulous concerts with wonderful musicians.

Gerall
