Red Cedar Chamber Music coming to Monticello

     Red Cedar Chamber Music presents “Old Friends.”

   A friendship rekindled after more than 30 years. Choong-Jin Change, principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, joins violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian in a program for violin, viola, and cello. A classmate of Miera’s at the Curtis Institute of Music in the late 1980s, Choong-Jin and Miera reconnected a few years ago when the Philadelphia Orchestra performed at Hancher Auditorium.

   This is a rare opportunity to hear an artist with an international career up close and personal. The program includes works by living composers Ingrid Stolzel, Andrea Casarrubios, and Michael Kimber, Beethoven’s “String Trio Op. 9, No. 3,” and features the viola as soloist as we give the Red Cedar treatment to Bach’s “Sonata No. 2 in D Major for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord Obligato.”

   Red Cedar Chamber Music’s “Old Friends” will be coming to United Church of Monticello on Friday, March 29, at 7 p.m. The church is located at 123 N. Chestnut St.

   There will be a free-will donation.
