Trio Less Traveled: Red Cedar Chamber Music
<p>Red Cedar Chamber Music’s directors and core ensemble, violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian, are joined by violinist Amos Fayette for a program of music for two violins and cello. The standard string trio is violin, viola, cello. The less common trio, two violins and cello, has fewer works written for it. The program opens with a charming Boccherini Sonata. Next, Fayette will take the lead in Bach’s <em>Sonata #4 for Violin and Harpsichord Obligato</em>, given the Red Cedar treatment here with Miera playing the right hand of the keyboard part and Carey playing the left. Jan Boland’s newly published <em>Flower Sonatas</em> by Oswald for two trebles and bass give us a different and mildly celtic baroque flavor. The largest work on the program is Dvorak’s <em>Terzetto</em>, originally written for two violins and viola, it is presented here with the cello part arranged by Red Cedar. The concert concludes by paying homage to the “missing” trio member, the viola. Michael Kimber’s work <em>Violas on Fire! </em>will bring the concert to an exhuberant close.</p><p>Miera and Carey first played chamber music with Amos just before they became the Directors of Red Cedar and have looked forward to having him as a guest artist. Comfortable with a wide range of styles, his flexibility fits beautifully with Red Cedar’s diverse programming. While the pandemic delayed his appearance, it also brought him closer to Iowa than New Jersey. Amos is currently the Manager of Community Partnerships and Engagement at The Cleveland Institute of Music and continues to concertize regularly.</p><p>Eight performances of this program will be presented between February 22 and 26 with Rural Outreach reaching audiences in Monticello and Tipton, a public concert at Lowe Park in Marion, and three Music for Seniors events. This series of concerts is made possible by the Program Support and Linn County Funds of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the McIntyre Foundation, the Grandon Foundation, the Giacoletto Foundation, AEGON Transamerica Foundation, the City of Marion, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support comes from CRST International, United Fire Group, Hills Bank, Farmers State Bank, GreatAmerica Financial Services, and Friends of Red Cedar Chamber Music.</p><p><em>Artist sponsorship is generously provided by Juanita Dennert.</em></p>
