Trio de Chats Noirs - Songs and Dances
Experience an afternoon of captivating chamber music as Trio de Chats Noirs takes the stage at Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 4:00 PM. This dynamic ensemble—featuring Rachel Velvikis (horn), Mark Fry (bass trombone/euphonium), and guest pianist Christopher Powell—brings an exciting program that blends classical elegance with jazz-inspired charm.
The performance will include a vibrant selection of works, from the graceful Waltz from Jazz Suite No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich to the expressive Horn Songs by Johannes Brahms (arr. Reynolds). Audiences will also enjoy Alec Wilder’s Suite No. 1 for Horn, Bass Trombone, and Piano, a work infused with jazz influences and lyrical beauty.
Following a brief intermission, the concert continues with a selection from J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Suite, performed by horn and bass trombone. Gary Kulesha’s Sonata for Horn, Tuba, and Piano brings a bold and contemporary contrast, leading into the timeless charm of Gershwin’s "Someone to Watch Over Me."
This performance takes place at Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church (1700 S Green Bay Rd, Racine, WI) and is open to the public.
Join Trio de Chats Noirs and guest pianist Christopher Powell for an unforgettable afternoon of rich sonorities and expressive storytelling through music.
