A friendship rekindled after more than 30 years! Choong-Jin Chang, principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, joins the core ensemble in a program for violin, viola, and cello. A classmate of Miera’s at the Curtis Institute of Music in the late 1980’s, Choong-Jin and Miera reconnected a few years ago when the Philadelphia Orchestra performed at Hancher Auditorium. Choong-Jin has made time in his busy performance and teaching schedule to come experience Iowa. The program includes works by living composers Ingrid Stolzel, Andrea Casarrubios, and Michael Kimber, Beethoven’s String Trio Op. 9, No. 3, and features the viola as soloist as we give the Red Cedar treatment to Bach’s Sonata No. 2 in D Major for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord Obligato.

This series of concerts is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, Farmers State Bank, the City of Marion, AEGON Transamerica Foundation, the Giacoletto Foundation, the McIntyre Foundation, and the Grandon Foundation. Additional support comes from United Fire Group and Friends of Red Cedar Chamber Music.
