THE DEBUSSY TRIO ENTERTAINS AUDIENCES WITH RANGE OF MUSIC

“Exquisite...timbre and color...well attuned to one another,” said a Washington Post reviewer of the Debussy Trio, who will perform at Boise State University at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, in the Special Events Center. The concert is part of the Classic Performances Series presented by Student Union and Activities.

Now in its thirteenth year, the Debussy Trio continues to render a range of music, from Baroque to jazz-fusion. Known for innovative programming and championing of 20th century music, the ensemble has played at festivals, universities, concert series, radio programs and more than 800 interactive “Musical Adventure” concerts for school children and families. The musicians have also gained recognition for bringing live chamber music to many inner-city and rural areas.

The Debussy Trio is comprised of Marcia Dickstein, harpist and founder of the ensemble, flutist Angela Wiegland and violist David Walther. As individuals, the Trio members perform with the Los Angeles Music Center Opera, the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, the Long beach Symphony and Fairbanks Arts Festival.

The Trio will also perform a free morning concert at 10 a.m. the same day, also in the Special Events Center. This outreach program, which is open to everyone, especially high school students or younger, will provide an opportunity to learn about music, chamber music and the harp, viola and flute.

Tickets for the evening concert are $10 for general admission and $5 for students, faculty, staff, alumni and seniors and are available at Select-a-Seat locations, online at www.idahotickets.com and at 426-1494. For more information call 426-4636.
