The Louise McKeon Chamber Music Concerts will return to the Keeler Tavern Museum, (http://keelertavernmuseum.org) located at 132 Main Street in Ridgefield on Sunday April, 14th at 3 PM . The first concert of the season will feature Threeds, an oboe trio based in New York City. The trio includes oboists Kathy Halvorson, Katie Schele and Mark Snyder. Formed in 2008, the trio enjoys creating new paths for the oboe and English horn.
The
ensemble plays their own arrangements of pop, rock, jazz, folk and world music
while using improvisational techniques.
A special guest of Threeds at this concert will be Christof Knoche who
plays the bass clarinet. Threeds has also arranged music to accompany local
singer-song writers and has recorded at Avatar Studios and Daytone Records.
One of
the founding principles of Threeds is to make the oboe an instrument more
accessible to the general public by bringing their music out of the concert
hall to bars, galleries and other public places that include sites from Joe’s
Pub to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Recently, the trio was invited (by audition) to participate in MTA’s
Music under NY where they will play in the New York subway.
Over the
last few years Threeds have performed in Los Angeles, Providence, Philadelphia,
Cape May as well as at the New York and Arizona Summer Music Festivals. The trio is composed of accomplished
musicians that have performed with many prestigious orchestras, including
Broadway Shows and Emmy nominated independent film tracks. In addition to the trio, the artists of the
trio have taught at WestConn University, C. W. Post, Rudolph Steiner School, and
the Brooklyn Conservatory among others.
Tickets
at the door are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, and $10 children
under 12 years. Members of the audience are invited to enjoy conversation with
the musicians following the concert. Light refreshments will be provided
The
final performance of the 2012-2013 season on Sunday May 19th at 3 PM will
feature the Devonshire Players, a string quarter.
