JULY 27, 28, & 29 EVENING PROGRAMS
featuring Trio Barclay
An evening of music that journeys from Baroque to bluegrass, with a healthy helping of original music expressly written for the trio. The high-octane opening movement of Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor – in a brand-new arrangement by festival founder Sheridan Seyfried – shows off the incredible dexterity of the ensemble's pianist Sean Kennard. Listeners will hear a gorgeous meditative piece by Celtic to Classical co-founder and composer Ya-Jhu Yang, which was premiered by the ensemble in Irvine, CA in 2025.
Cellist Jonah Kim will captivate audiences with a solo performance of a jazz-inspired movement from Seyfried’s recently completed cello sonata, while the trio will offer Seyfried’s contemplative rendition of “Amazing Grace” from their self-released album of hymns, Trinity. Listeners will have a unique opportunity to hear the East Coast premiere of a new composition by Seyfried – his fourth piano trio. By turns exuberant, somber, heartfelt, and exhilarating, the piece – composed specifically for Trio Barclay – takes listeners on a musical journey that feels almost cinematic at times. The program will conclude with a rollicking medley of bluegrass tunes. Don’t miss out! The schedule is on our home page (click here).
