The performance will feature several notable musicians, including soloist Jake Klock on violin, Elisa Wicks on violin, Gerald Miller on cello, and Michael Sabatka on viola.

Thomas Wilson, Associate Conductor of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, will direct the ensemble through an exciting and challenging repertoire, including Mozart’s Serenade No. 6 in D Major, Telemann’s Violin Concerto in A Major, a.k.a. “The Frogs” and Wilson’s own arrangement of Paul Hermann’s Grand Duo for Violin and Cello, an extremely technical piece which is rarely attempted.
