Program: Beethoven's String Trios, op. 9, no.1 and op. 9, no. 2; Cayanan's original works:
A Hella Cayanan Cello - Short Pieces for Cello Solo and
The A&M for String Trio --W. Cayanan
*PacAm Ensemble is: Hilda Li, violin, Tessera Chin, viola and William Cayanan, cello. These young musicians from the East Bay and Peninsula highlight less performed chamber repertoire from the past two centuries while also bringing fresh, hot-out-of-the-printer works to their audiences.
Through performances with such ensembles as the Young People's Symphony Orchestra, the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, the SF Conservatory Prep Chamber Orchestra as well as chamber music programs at the Crowden Music Center, each PacAm member has been brought up in the Bay Area's unique and extremely nurturing music community. Grateful for these opportunities, they are thrilled to be performing once again for the Berkeley community and hope to encourage audiences to keep seeking out performances by local musicians.
