Spring Preview Week 2011

Founder and director Ian Scarfe was joined by festival co-founder Ellen McGehee, violinist Philip Brezina and cellist Erin Wang for a sneak preview of what Trinity County can expect from our summer festival concerts.  The performed two educational outreach concerts, one hosted by the Hayfork High School for over 100 area students, and another at the Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center for over 250 area students, parents, and teachers.

Their program led students through classical masterpieces by Bach, Mendelssohn, and Piazzolla, and showed how musicians have to work together to create chamber music in small groups.

A special concert for local audiences followed on March 6, featuring Bach's Concerto for Two Violins, selections from Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, and Felix Mendelssohn's exciting and virtuosic Piano Trio in D Minor.
