WHCO at Dyckman Farmhouse: Luminae Trio: Contrasts

WHCO sunset picnic performance!

Luminae Trio: Contrasts

Friday, August 23rd at 7pm
Dyckman Farmhouse Museum
4881 Broadway at West 204th Street

Enjoy a 1 hour sunset picnic performance by the Luminae Trio in the historic setting of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum garden. Bring your own picnic (and blanket and chairs and bug spray, etc.) to enjoy during the concert. The garden is “Leave No Trace” so be sure to clean up what you brought in.

Free admission; donations gratefully accepted.
The Washington Heights-based Luminae Trio is excited to present a diverse selection of works that draw from a wide range of musical styles and influences. Featuring Beethoven and Jennifer Higdon, two composers from distinct backgrounds, the program shares moments of both great excitement and deep intimacy.

The Luminae Trio is composed of two WHCO members, Jacob Nordlinger (cello) and Elizabeth Wright (violin), alongside fellow uptowner Jestin Pieper (piano). It is the group’s unified vision not only to share chamber music as a means of communication and expression, but also to illuminate the works of lesser-known and underrepresented composers and make this music known.
