Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Ephraim

Composer and violinist/fiddler George Meyer will offer an inside look at the creative process behind writing new music. Drawing from his own experiences as a composer, he will discuss where musical ideas come from, what “genre” has to do with anything, how a composition develops from concept to performance, and the challenges and rewards of creating music for today’s audiences. Coffee Talk programs are free, informal presentations on music topics by ensemble members, staff, and friends.

The trumpet is not often heard in chamber music, but this program features Trumpet virtuoso Ansel Norris in a variety of works showcasing the true range of Mr. Norris’ talents. Pianist Jeannie Yu joins our winds and strings in exhilarating and sumptuous renditions of colorful pieces with distinctively orchestral flavors.
