We’re feeling nostalgic. Join us for this program of works for violin and cello. Two of the four works on the program are by living composers, both former composers-in-residence. The program opener, Red Cedar Express by Michael Kimber, was the very first commission and world premiere by Miera and Carey after becoming directors in 2016. Red Cedar’s first composer in residence, Jerry Owen, has created Love Notes, a new setting of a movement from his 2003 composition, Gypsy Inspirations for flute, viola, and guitar. We look forward to bringing a new-to-our-audience work in Duo Concertant by Anton Stamitz and will also return to Zoltán Kodály’s Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7, a 30-minute work that takes the listener on an incredible emotional journey which bridges the gap between Hungarian folk music and the European art music tradition. 

Join us tonight, March 13  at  7 p.m. (Friday)  in the Vinton Public Library, 510 2nd Ave, Vinton.
Doors open at 6:15, concert starts at 7pm, will last approximately one hour.
