Follow on Google News | FanFaire Foundation Presents the Orvieto Piano Trio in Free Concerts at 4 San Diego VenuesFanFaire Foundation presents the Orvieto Piano Trio in free family concerts at four San Diego venues August 11-14, 2011. Concerts feature works by Beethoven and Dvorak.
The concert program features Beethoven’s Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 1, No.3 and Dvorak’s Piano Trio Op. 90 (“Dumky”). Each piece will be introduced with interesting, audience-friendly commentary by the artists. Families are encouraged to bring their children to the concerts, which are open to the public and designed to be a unique learning experience for young and old alike. The Orvieto Piano Trio was formed in 2009 during a chamber music festival, Orvieto Musica, in the Italian town of the same name where the members first bonded and discovered they enjoyed sharing musical ideas and making music together. The ensemble is unique in that its members not only come from different parts of the US but are currently pursuing divergent career paths - a testament to the power of music to communicate and transcend personal differences. The trio is led by San Diego's own Dr. Byron Chow at the piano. Dr. Chow is an exemplar of the left-brain/right- Violinist Lauren Basney and cellist Daniel Frankhuizen complete the Trio. Basney, an accomplished violinist with degrees in music from Juilliard and Yale, made her New York solo debut at Carnegie's Weill Hall in 2004 and has since performed at prestigious venues in Europe and the US, including Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall and Alice Tully Hall. She is also a founding member of the Alianza String Quartet which has performed at festivals in Europe and the US following the group's acclaimed debut at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall in 2007. Frankhuizen received his BA in Music this year from Ithaca College where he was a member of both the Ithaca College Symphony and Chamber Orchestra. His performance experience with the Symphony has included concerts at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and Barton Hall. His interests extend beyond classical music into reggae and world music. His cello playing can be heard on "Amplify," the latest album by the reggae band John Brown's Body which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart. and his own world music group "Beat the Grid" has been hailed as “an indefinable sonic sensation” by Cake Magazine. The concerts in Carlsbad and Escondido are presented in partnership with the Museum of Making Music and the Escondido Public Library, respectively, with the latter receiving generous support from the Friends of the Escondido Public Library.
