Eureka Chamber Music Series Presents
Trio Duende
Concert + Conversation
3:00 pm, Sunday Jan 22, 2023
Lutheran Church of Arcata

Join our performing guests as they give a less formal afternoon concert, featuring repertoire that is new or otherwise more off-the-cuff in nature than from their Mainstage performance, highlighted by a guided interview session at the end of the concert with ECMS Artistic Director Tom Stone. Take this rare chance to hear about the creative process directly from the instrumentalists themselves!

Trio Duende includes ECMS Co-Artistic Director Tom Stone, Avery Fisher Career award-winning cellist Sophie Shao and Naumberg award-winning pianist Awadagin Pratt. The name “Duende”, inspired by Gabriel Garcia Lorca’s writing on the subject, is meant to represent the indescribable in art and the human experience. ECMS co-artistic director Tom Stone and pianist Awadagin Pratt met as teenagers and formed a bond usually reserved for brothers. Cellist Sophie Shao is the perfect partner for the trio, bringing her own fire and force of will to the mix.
