Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Tryon Concert Association will present Front Row: National, a series of six concerts performed by members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center this fall, winter and early spring. TCA has canceled its regular subscription series and TGIF concerts due to the Covid-19 but continues to bring world class music to the Tryon area for its 66^th season.

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center has made available recordings of a series of recent concerts. Fall presentations will be available, free of charge, on the TCA website, tryonconcerts.org, from Wednesday through Sunday during the last weeks of September, October and November. In February, March and April, another series of programs will take place. Billed as “the greatest canceled season ever” by TCA president Kymric Mahnke, the concerts showcase the excellence of the famed Chamber Music Society.

In September, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott and accompanying musicians will start the program with Mozart’s Concerto in D minor for Piano, Flute and Strings, K. 466. Smetana’s Trio in G minor for Piano, Violin and Cello follows.

October’s program is highlighted by pianist Gloria Chien who will play John Field’s Nocturne No. 2 in C minor, and, with string players, Liszt’s Grand duo concertant sur la romance de ‘Le Marin’ for Violin and Piano. Their closing piece is Mendelsshon’s Quintet in C minor for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 1.

Rounding out the fall concerts in November is David Shifrin performing, with other musicians, Mozart’s Quintet in A major for Clarinet, Two Violins, Viola, and Cello, K. 581. Next is Concert Fantasia on Themes from Verdi’s Rigoletto for Clarinet and Piano by Luigi Bassi, and, for his final piece, Duke Ellington’s Clarinet Lament for Clarinet and Piano.
