Six Centuries of Cello Duets and Trios - A Cello Concert

You are invited to a cello concert to enjoy Six Centuries of Cello Duets and Trios! The concert will be presented on Tuesday, May 17th 2022 at the Arbor House in Golden, Colorado.

I join my cello duet partner, Molly Niven, along with Susan Crisfield, to raise funds to support Friendship Bridge, an organization empowering indigenous women in Guatemala. All proceeds will go to support Friendship Bridge.

The concert begins at 7:00 pm, but please come at 6:30pm to enjoy a glass of wine or beer and visit our Guatemalan market. You will also enjoy a flute Choro by myself, and a 'musical dessert' on the nyckelharpa by Susan!

 

Flute, Guitar, Cello Trio Wedding Ceremony Music at Garden of the Gods Resort in Colorado Springs

It was so lovely to be a part of this gorgeous August wedding ceremony at the Garden of the Gods Resort in Colorado Springs. The combination of the red rocks, the sunset, and the wildfire smoke turned the ceremony location into a pastel watercolor with delicate shades of pinks and blues.


From the Bride:

“Christen and her team were nothing short of amazing! Leading up to my wedding, we were in constant contact and had so much fun with our love of music. I would bounce ideas off of her and she would get back to me almost instantaneously. She is so much fun to work with and is an amazing musician. Alex and Anna accompanied her and they were so talented as well. She was able to organize playing several really special songs for my wedding. Not only amazing musicians but also so very kind. “

The combination of the flute, guitar and cello is just perfect because I can imitate vocals on my flute, the guitar replaces the guitar or piano part with full chords, and the cello fills out the bass. With three very different sounding instruments, this ensemble has an elegant and full sound.

The songs that the bride selected beautifully complimented the setting. We played restful selections by Jim Brickman, "Have I Told You Lately” (Rod Stewart), “Shallow” (Lady Gaga), and “Stand by Me” (Ben King).
