Press Release - March 24, 2008

The Clearfield Area Concert Association wishes to announce the final concert for the 2007-2008 season, Trio Excelsior! This performance will take place at the Clearfield Middle School starting at 7:30 P.M. on Friday, March 28.

Trio Excelsior! is comprised of pianist Marja Kaisla, cellist Ulrich Boeckheler and violinist and conductor Gabriel Gordon from Finland, Germany and the U.S. respectively. The performers all have extensive individual performance credentials and international renown to their credit. The three musicians, friends for over 15 years, formed the trio in 2004. Just one year later, they won the Artists International auditions in New York and added yet another successful performing element to their respective repertoires. Sharing the rich and intimate piano trio repertoire in a way that has been described as “incredibly moving” and “brilliantly executed”, Trio Excelsior! will be a treat for audiences of all ages.
 
For this concert only, CACA ticket holders are encouraged to bring a guest, at no cost, to enjoy the performance.
