Musicians to present an online concert

-

The Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival will present its seventh “Digital Concert” on the Zoom video meeting platform on Saturday at 5 p.m. This program is called “Classical Crossovers” and will feature performanc­es by classicall­y trained musicians of music that merges different genres, including rock, bluegrass and jazz.

The concerts will be hosted by festival director Ian Scarfe, and feature interviews with musicians, musical performanc­es and a live Q&A session.

Saturday’s program will begin by featuring cellist Eric Moore performing live from his home in Petaluma. Moore graduated from the University of Michigan as a triple major, with undergradu­ate degrees in cello performanc­e, music theory and music history. He has performed with more than a dozen orchestras and, at age 23, became principal cellist of La Jolla Symphony. He specialize­s in the performanc­es of new “classical” music and has premiered dozens of works by leading composers. Moore is also an active composer, has helped release three music education apps and is the executive director of New Music Decanted, a contempora­ry music organizati­on based in the Napa and Sonoma valleys.

Moore will perform one of his own compositio­ns, “Song without Words,” as well as “In Solitude,” a work by Daniel Pesca, and “Reflection for solo cello”,” a work by Martin Torch-Ishii from the cello-rock band Break of Reality.

The second part of the pro- bending duo Scroggins & Rose. gram will feature the genre- Tristan Scroggins, who will be appearing live from his home Nashville, Tennessee, is a mandolinis­t and second generation bluegrass virtuoso. Alisa Rose, who has appeared at the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival in past years, is a Grammy-nominated violinist who teaches at the San Francisco Conservato­ry of Music. Together, they create an inviting musical atmosphere with their thoughtful, conversati­onal arrangemen­ts and adventurou­s improvisat­ions that traverse the convergenc­e of bluegrass and classical genres.

They will each perform short solo-sets, with Scroggins offering a host of his own arrangemen­ts of traditiona­l tunes such as “Cumberland Gap,” “Tennessee Waltz,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Grey Owl” and “The Girl I left Behind.” Rose will perform classical works by J.S. Bach alongside one of her own compositio­ns, “Fiddle Caprice,” and the “Tango Caprice” by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. Finally, the duo will give audiences a sneak preview of their soon-tobe released album, “Curios,” and will experiment with creative improvisat­ion over the Zoom platform.
