Ava & Friends

“Ava & Friends” present an unusual ensemble in a program of works for violin, French horn, and piano. Performers are Adrienne Sengpiehl violin; Phillip Palmore, French horn; and Ava Soifer, piano.

In a most unusual chamber ensemble this program presents rarely performed works that feature the lush, sensual sound of the French Horn. American composer Eric Ewazen modeled his Trio after the iconic Horn Trio by Brahms. Up and coming and new to the Bay Area, Phillip Palmore joined the S.F. Ballet Orchestra in the 2023-2024 season and also performs with the S.F. Symphony and S.F. Opera Orchestras. Adrienne Sengpiehl is a free lance musician performing throughout the Bay Area as a chamber musician and in many prestigious orchestras including the S.F. Opera Orchestra & S.F. Symphony. Adrienne & Ava are both longtime Artists in Residences at Ruth Asawa S.F. School of the Arts coaching strings, piano and chamber music. Performing music by Johannes Brahms & Eric Ewazan.

Adrienne and Phillip are joined by Artistic Director of Music on the Hill and pianist Ava Soifer.
