Coffee Concerts return to Oak Ridge Sunday
Announcing the first Oak Ridge Civic Music Association (ORCMA) coffee concert in two years! ORCMA is excited to present the group, Trillium and Friends, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 24, at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Oak Ridge, 212 North Tulane Ave.
The group composed of Robert Bonham, piano, Shelby Shankland, flute, and Alicia Randisi-Hooker will play music by Haydn, Villa Lobos and von Weber. The concert is free and open to the public.
Shankland, flutist, is the former adjunct instructor of flute at Maryville College. She is also the principal of Oak Ridge Symphony and plays regularly in the Knoxville area after moving to Maryville in 2010 from San Francisco, California, where she studied at the San Francisco Conservatory. She is also a business development manager for a culture and leadership development company, and a life coach and reiki master.
Bonham, pianist, is professor emeritus from Maryville College and a recipient of the Maryville College Outstanding Teacher Award. He presents a variety of workshops nationally to enhance wellness and performance and enjoys leading groups to explore India or sail the Greek seas.
Randisi-Hooker, cellist, has performed throughout the United States and Europe. Her students have won prizes, scholarships, and competitions, both nationally and internationally. Believing that music can educate the whole child, she also spends countless hours in community outreach to advocate for music education and chamber music performance.
