SIGN UP NOW FOR MARCH 29 PRE-CONCERT LUNCH IN SHEPHERDSTOWN

Those attending the Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra concert in Shepherdstown on March 30 will have an opportunity to get a preview of the performance at a luncheon the day before.
The concert, which is sponsored by Friends of Music will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church on Saturday, March 30 at 7:30 p.m.
The luncheon will be held at Shepherdstown’s Bavarian Inn on Friday, March 29 at 12 noon.
The orchestra’s Music Director, Jed Gaylin, will speak, offering his insights into the works that will be performed at the concert. He will be joined by composer J. Kimo Williams and pianist Scott Beard.
Williams is the composer of the concert’s featured work, “Into the Liquid.” Beard will be performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 14 at the concert.
The concert will also include a performance of Mendelssohn’s Sinfonia No. 8 in D.
Tickets for the luncheon are sold separately from concert tickets at a cost of $25 per person. All tickets must be prepaid before Tuesday, March 26, so the Bavarian Inn can have an accurate meal count.
