SUMMARY:Solstice Piano Trio
DESCRIPTION:Solstice Piano Trio\nSunday\, February 1\, 3 – 5 PM (Doors open at 2 PM)\nClassical Music Sundays\nTickets: $20 in advance\, $25 at the door \nThe Solstice Trio is looking forward to sharing a program that brings listeners into the heart of the Romantic era\, celebrating the profound musical and personal connection between Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. This concert features two masterpieces of the piano trio repertoire: Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G minor\, Op. 17\, and Johannes Brahms’s Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major\, Op. 8. \nThrough both performance and brief discussion\, the Solstice Trio will illuminate the intricate ties of influence\, respect\, and affection that link Schumann and Brahms\, exploring how their personal stories are woven into the fabric of these expressive and brilliant chamber works. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nThe Solstice Trio is an accomplished piano trio featuring violinist Lana Auerbach\, cellist Adam Willson\, and pianist Charlotte Hill. Known for their vibrant and collaborative energy\, the trio is passionate about connecting with audiences through shared intimate musical experiences. \nThe three members met while studying at Oberlin Conservatory and have since cultivated impressive careers as performers and educators. Violinist Lana Auerbach\, based in Newtown\, Connecticut\, is a recent graduate of Bard College’s “The Orchestra Now” Orchestral Masters program and a frequent participant in international chamber music festivals. Cellist Adam Willson\, a member of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and Vermont Symphony Orchestra\, has performed solo\, chamber\, and orchestral works in concert halls across the U.S. Pianist Charlotte Hill is a multifaceted artist and educator\, currently pursuing her Doctorate at Stony Brook University. An avid chamber musician\, she co-runs Music at Port Milford\, a celebrated summer chamber music festival and academy. \nThe Solstice Trio takes its name from a tradition born of the members’ commitment to direct\, personal musical interaction. Every year on the summer solstice\, the trio gathers to host a house concert for friends and community members. This yearly event has defined their mission to break down barriers between audience and performer\, fostering communal\, shared experiences of music.

SUMMARY:On the Trail
DESCRIPTION:On the Trail\nFriday\, February 27 at 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:30 PM)\nTickets: $25 \nOn the Trail is a modern acoustic band that explores everything from bluegrass to contemporary pop\, from stunning instrumentals to beautiful traditional songs. A special collaboration between On the Trail and a classical string quartet will bring together the classical and bluegrass communities\, featuring bluegrass\, country\, western swing\, and American-inspired classical music. \nThis program\, originally performed in collaboration with the New Haven Symphony\, will be used as inspiration for other symphonies and quartets interested in closing the gap between vernacular\, commercial American styles and American classical music. \n \nOn the Trail was founded through their mutual love of bluegrass and the Punch Brothers band. They have already gained recognition and praise for their exploration and strong execution of challenging music and their new original music. \nIn 2024\, On the Trail performed throughout the northeast\, including the Podunk Bluegrass Festival\, the Ossipee Valley Music Festival\, the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival\, and Bluegrass in Heaven in Lake George\, NY. In 2022\, On the Trail had the honor of winning the Thomas Point Beach Band Competition after participating in 2021’s Telefunken Battle of the Bands at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. They were also selected as an Emerging Artist at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in 2023. \nOn The Trail features Austin Scelzo (fiddle and vocals)\, Tom Polizzi (mandolin and vocals)\, Charlie Widmer (guitar and vocals)\, and Matt Curley (upright bass and vocals). Their debut self-titled EP\, On the Trail\, is also available for streaming on all platforms. \nVisit onthetrailbluegrass.com to learn more.
