This is a free concert (donations accepted) and a wonderful way to hear our players featured in small ensembles.
Concertmaster Brenda Anna, violin, pianist Nancy Smith, and Music Director Jason Love, cello, bring you three masterworks with a decidedly ethnic flavor! Swiss composer Frank Martin brings a multicultural twist to his Trio on Irish Folk Songs while Zoltan Kodaly explores the traditions of his Hungarian homeland in the virtuosic Duo for Violin and Cello.
