October Concerts Update
Join us on October 21 and 23 as we showcase world premieres from four of our artists. The concerts will be held in the Unitarian Universalist Church in Blacksburg (Oct. 21) and at the North Cross School (Oct. 23) in Roanoke, Virginia. Both events will begin at 7:30pm. Admission is free and open to the public. Live streaming of the concerts may even be available via our website.
Our "In the Moment!" concerts will feature music by composers from Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and the United States. Most of these works were recently composed and all are intended for a very contemporary ensemble that consists of winds, strings, piano and percussion. Several pieces also include a part for male voice; two of these will be sung by tenor Robert Chafin, two others will be sung by baritone Theodore Sipes. Cayambis co-owner John Walker will conduct the Sinfonietta.
The Sinfonietta itself is made up of some of this area's finest musicians, amongst whom are Elizabeth Lantz Crone, flute; Phillip Paglilonga, clarinet; Robert Deis, saxophone; Nicole Paglialonga, violin; Lisa Liske-Doorandish, cello; Yi-Wen Evans, string bass; Annie Stevens, percussion; and Cayambis Artist Dolly Hsu, piano.
