Saint John’s Episcopal Church

For immediate release: New World Trio “Old and New Genius”, works by Beethoven, Daron Hagen, and Ravel. Sunday, April 19 at 2pm, St. John’s Episcopal Church, 679 Farmington Ave., West Hartford, CT. Anhared Stowe, violin, Peter Zay, cello, and David Ballena, piano. Reception following.<a href="https://www.newworldtrio.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.newworldtrio.org</a>, info 860 586-8579 Suggested donation $25

These works have all established their authors as masters of composition. Beethoven’s Trio op.1 #3, was both dynamic and controversial. In this piece, he makes it clear that he is progressing to a new way of composing, and his confident exhilaration is unmistakable. Written in memory of his brother, Daron Hagen’s adaptation of “Wayfaring Stranger” is in the grand tradition of the folk-to-classical genre. This piece brilliantly combines the themes of redemption and deliverance contained in this traditional spiritual, along with classical development and depth, to form a richly haunting and affecting work. In composing his sole piano trio, Maurice Ravel adopted an orchestral approach to create a large, powerful work that stands at the apex of the piano-trio repertoire.Making extensive use of the extreme ranges of each instrument, he developed an unusually rich texture of sound for a chamber work, one which demands a high level of technical proficiency from all three musicians. Part of the work’s brilliance lies in its organization: for all its innovations and multiple sources, this extraordinary piece resides within a conventional classical framework.

Using red cabbage as a natural indicator, students will experiment with acids and bases and watch chemistry come alive in vibrant color.
Air Apparent: The Invisible Force All Around Us
Through hands-on experiments, students will explore the properties of air—and discover just how powerful something invisible can be.
