The Sky Islands Trio and Guest Artists – A Benderly Concert Event

Gifted musicians Evan Kory, piano – Juan Mejia, cello – Emily Chao, violin with guests artists Laura Cásarez, violin and Rafael Lizama, viola return to the Opera House with a program by two composers who come from opposite ends of the musical spectrum. Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer of contemporary classical music, is a true minimalist while Robert Schumann is the quintessential romanticist of 19th-century classical music. Together this pairing blends seamlessly into a lovely expression of chamber music – elegant and passionate. The program:

Fratres ……….Arvo Pärt performed by Emily Chao, violin and Evan Kory, piano

Spiegel im Spiegel ……..Arvo Pärt performed by Juan David Mejia, cello and Evan Kory, piano

Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44 Robert Schumann

I. Allegro brillante

II. In modo d’una Marcia. Un poco largamente

III. Scherzo. Molto vivace

IV. Allegro, ma non troppo
