NEW PSOG MEMBERS ENJOY A NIGHT AT THE ANNENBEG THEATER


THE AMERICAN CHAMBER TRIO




Many folks took the opportunity to sign up early for the Palm Springs
Opera Guild's 2010-2011 Membership Season at the Membership
Tent at Sunday's Opera In The Park Concert and Festival. As an
incentive for sign up at the event the Guild offered tickets to
The American Chamber Trio's performance on Tuesday, April 6 at
the Annenberg Theater. The Palm Spring Opera Guild's Board
Membership Chair Marie Staudhammer and Board Secretary
Fay Bock along with many additional Board Members and current
Guild members welcomed a group of almost 40 that included the new
members and their guests to Tuesday evenings performance.

The critically acclaimed Trio which includes June DeForest, Cellest
Daniel Morganstern and pianist Eric Larsen performed a delightful
and eclectic mix of pieces. They opened with Anton Dvorak's
"Trio in E minor, Op. 90 "Dumky"
and did a surprisingly
wonderful segue into William Ryden's "The Wonderland Rags
for Violin, Cello and Piano"
. The evening culminated with a
sensitive and persuasive performance of Franz Schuberts's
"Trio in B Flat Major, Op. 99"
.

The enjoyable early week interlude is one of the many similar
events the Guild hopes to promote and support with attendance
in the upcoming 2010-2011 Opera Guild Membership season so join
early and enjoy the many benefits of membership while supporting
the Palm Springs Opera Guild's Youth Outreach program, the Vocal
Scholarship Competitions, Opera In The Park and other Community
Outreach activities and programs.
