Morningside Trio to perform at Morningside College

The Morningside Trio will perform at Morningside College at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14, at Eppley Auditorium, 3625 Garretson Ave.  This is a free event open to the public. 

The members of the Morningside Trio are Dan Auerbach, violinist and string instructor at Morningside; Joe Shufro, cellist and associate professor of music; and James March, pianist and professor of music. 

The trio will play numerous compositions, including a recently discovered trio by Claude Debussy; “Otono Porteno,” which translates to “Buenos Aires Autumn” by Astor Piazzola; and “Trio in G minor” by Antonin Dvorak.

The Morningside Trio has been in existence on and off for many years. The current combination of players has been together since last year. The trio performs two concerts on campus per year and plays at high schools all across Iowa.  Last year the ensemble played for the Sioux City Chamber Music Series.
