At 2:30 pm, there will be a special one-hour student program that will be presented in chronological order of the history of music, covering Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern Periods. This sold-out afternoon student presentation was made possible by donations from the town of Yucca Valley, the Farmers Market, the GATE Program and the Desert Music Foundation.
The second, and main event, which still has tickets available, will feature a broad spectrum of classical music, including short works and complete piano trios by this talented and virtuosic ensemble that includes musicians that have concertized all over the world, including the Soviet Union, Mexico, Spain, England, Italy, Ireland and the Czech Republic.
