There is a human life behind every piece of art.On April 19th, join us for the grand finale of our season! We are continuing to explore the Transition to Modern Times theme with a huge program of chamber music that bridges the gap between the old world and the new.
What to expect:
Live Piano Trio Concert: Soul Strings Ensemble appears as a trio featuring Hartmut Richter (violin), Joseph Dowell (piano), and myself (Anna Shabalina, cello & stories).
Iconic Compositions & Hidden Gems: We will perform works by Dvorak, Rachmaninov, Skryabin, Debussy, Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, and more.
Woven Stories: I’ll share informal stories about the composers’ lives and how they navigated a changing world.
Social Time: After the music and during the intermission, please stay for light refreshments, snacks, and a chance to connect.
The entire event, including stories and intermission, will be around 2 hours. This is a thoughtful and social way to experience classical music. No prior knowledge is required!
When: Sunday, April 19th | 2:00 PM
Where: Hillside United Church (Sanctuary)
