Tue 8/24 @ 8PM
This week, Cain Park’s Tuesday evening chamber music series features local string quarter Trial by Fire 216. The ensemble was founded by violist Alexandra Vago, who, since 2010, has been performing exclusively on American-made Luis & Clark carbon fiber instruments, designed to handle variations in humidity, temperature and other challenges. They’re forged at 3000 degrees, hence the ensemble’s name.
The group, which includes violinists Michael Houff and Diana Pepelea Vardi and cellist Linda Atherton, all perform on these instruments. All the musicians are busy freelancer players who’ve performed with such groups as the Cleveland Pops Orchestra the Akron Symphony, the Blossom Festival Orchestra and the Trinity Chamber Orchestra, among others, ad backed such touring acts as Johnny Mathis, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Smokey Robinson and Andrea Bocelli.
At Cain Park, Trial By Fire 216 will play “an eclectic mix of music from various styles and genres.” The concert is free and no reservations are neeed.
