Bach’s Lunch: “Harmonious Heights” by Zefira Trio

Zefira Trio comprises violinist (and CCMS faculty member) Olga Patramanska-Bell, cellist Ashima Scripp, and pianist Eleanor Perrone.

The program features a dynamic mix of expressive chamber works. Robert Paterson’s Summit Trio captures the drama and beauty of nature, while Frank Bridge’s Miniatures Nos. 4-6 offer a series of intimate, character-filled piano trio pieces. The program concludes with Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in C Minor, Op. 66, a passionate and technically brilliant work that blends lyrical beauty with dramatic intensity, showcasing the composer’s mastery of form and emotion.

The members of Zefíra have established themselves as solo artists and chamber musicians of the highest standard. They are top prize winners of many national and international competitions and appear often as soloists with orchestras or in major recital halls across the country. This commitment to excellence is the foundation of their collaboration — to combine the instrumental mastery of the soloist into the ‘many-become-one’ that defines great chamber music playing, and is achieved only by long-term association and mutuality in joint performance.

This event is part of our 40th Anniversary Year celebration and will be held in our historic Recital Hall. It is free of charge and open to the public, thanks to the generosity of the Walker Fund. Donations are appreciated.
