So the following is an announcement I put together for one in a series of concerts I am helping encourage at our little church. If you are nearby, come see us and hear some fine musicians next Saturday.

| Murphys, Ca -- The Delphi Trio, the ensemble currently in residence at the annual Bear Valley Music Festival, will present a free concert this coming Saturday (Aug. 3) at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary of the historic First Congregational Church in Murphys. Trio individual members have performed in 14 countries and on four continents, including as a trio in Europe, California and the Midwest. The Delphi Trio has completed artistic residencies at the Dakota Sky International Piano Festival, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and is currently featured as artists-in-residence at Old First Concerts in San Francisco where they have juxtaposed classic repertoire and works commissioned for them. Members Liana Be'rube', Michelle Kwon and Jeffrey LaDeur are graduates of the University of Toronto, Stanford University and the Eastman School of music respectively. The trio was formed while they were studying at the Chamber Music Program at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Saturday's concert will be the second in a series of musical events at the church. The initial concert was presented this Spring by Cooking With Turf, a traditional Celtic band. Later this year the church will host performances by the Masterworks Chorale, a jazz group from Pennsylvania, a traditional/bluegrass/gospel band and other local/regional musicians. The church sanctuary is located at the corner of Church and Algiers Streets, one block above the Murphys Hotel on Main Street. The trio believes chamber music is an integral part of music education, and has coached students at the San Francisco Conservancy of Music and the Crowden School in Berkeley. They developed an innovative chamber music mentoring program at the Dakota Sky International Piano Festival Young Artists Program and developed an Emerging Artist Program to guide collegiate students through their first independent concert experience. |
