The festival is dedicated to supporting musicians during this time, and encourages all of its music fans to tune in and offer support as well.

The Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival announces the continuati­on of its 2020 season, with two concerts scheduled in December featuring live performanc­es of classical and opera music from musicians around the United States and Europe.

Audience members must register to attend on the festival website ( www. Tr inityAlpsC­MF. org) and ticket prices are on a “pay-what-you-want” sliding scale. This organizati­on has been dedicated to making classical music accessible to all audiences, and over 90% of its support comes from the generosity of music lovers in this way.

On Sunday at 11 a. m., the series of concerts dedicated to J. S. Bach’s Cello Suites will come to a close, with cellist Joseph Howe performing the sixth and final suite. Howe is a regular guest of the festival, and will be appearing from his hometown of Boulder, Colorado.

Also on the program will be Australian composer Carl Vine’s “Piano

Sonata No. 1”, composed in 1990. The performer for this work will be pianist Britton Day from San Francisco.

On Dec. 20 at 11 a.m., the final concert of 2020 will feature “Love Duets” sung by tenor Samuel Levine and his wife, soprano Cecelia Hall. The couple will perform with accompanis­t Takeshi Moriuchi live from Frankfurt, Germany, where they are now living and working as regular members of the Frankfurt Opera Company.

The festival is dedicated to supporting musicians during this time, and encourages all of its music fans to tune in and offer support as well. Contributi­ons can be made online through the festival website.
