Acclaimed young San Francisco trio performs Maurice Ravel, Clara Schumann, and Lili Boulanger Join Sixth Station Trio in an enchanting afternoon of works by Maurice Ravel, Clara Schumann, and Lili Boulanger, culminating in a program of the ensemble’s favorites arranged for piano trio. Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro, originally composed for harp, string quartet, and chamber orchestra, opens with a delicate and serene introduction before transitioning into the lively and spirited allegro. Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps (“Of a Spring Morning”) is a vivid and uplifting orchestral work that captures the essence of a blossoming spring day, also arranged for piano trio. Lastly, Anton Arensky’s Piano Trio id D minor, Op. 32, is a heartfelt and richly expressive work that blends lyrical melodies with lush harmonies. The trio showcases Arensky’s Romantic style, with influences from Tchaikovsky and other Russian contemporaries. Although the trio officially debuted in 2023 , the members of Sixth Station Trio have been playing chamber music together since their high school years at Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, and through their time pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. They have since built a huge following for their performances of the scores from numerous Studio Ghibli films (master works by Hayao Miyazaki's studio: Spirited Away, Ponyo, Kiki's Delivery Service), as well as music from Nintendo, which they perform at Grace Cathedral and Old First in San Francisco. We are thrilled to lure them to the East Bay for the afternoon! With Anju Goto, violin; Federico Strand Ramirez, cello; and Katelyn Tan, piano Artist Profiles Anju Goto is a violinist and violist based in the Bay Area. He completed his undergraduate degree at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2020 and has studied Viola at the USC Thornton School of Music in Viola Performance. Anju was a member of the San Francisco Youth Orchestra from 2015 to 2020, serving as the principal violist during the 2019-2020 season. Anju plays regularly with Ensemble Mik Nawooj, The Berkeley Playhouse, and has participated as an Emerging Artist at the Mendocino Music Festival. Besides classical music, he is also interested in a wide variety of genres, such as Baroque performance with period instruments, taking Technology and Applied Composition classes at SFCM, and joining the Pop Strings Ensemble at Thornton. His principal teachers include Dimitri Murrath, Yura Lee, Jay Liu, Wei He, and Cordula Merks. Federico Strand Ramirez is a Bay Area cellist and native San Franciscan. Federico is a cellist for the Berkeley Ballet Theater and has performed with ensembles such as the The Sacramento Philharmonic, the Mendocino Orchestra, and Ensemble Mik Nawooj. He has soloed with the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra, performed chamber music with SF Ballet's Concertmaster Cordula Merks and piano soloist Lara Downes, and recorded for Lisa Bielawa's "Broadcast From Home", featured in The Library of Congress. When not performing, Federico teaches cello privately and through the San Francisco Symphony's Mentors in Music program. He began learning cello at the age of 11, and obtained B.M. and A.C. degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a Master of Music degree from the Mannes School of Music in NYC. Born and raised in San Francisco, Katelyn Tan began her musical studies at the age of 10. She completed her Bachelor's of Music at the University of the Pacific in 2017 and Masters of Music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2020. She currently works as a rehearsal pianist for the San Francisco Ballet Company and School, where she is also a faculty member. She is also a staff accompanist for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and has appeared as a guest lecturer. In the past, Katelyn has been a rehearsal pianist for companies including San Francisco Opera, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, San Francisco Girls Chorus, Smuin Ballet, Berkeley Ballet Theater, and the American Conservatory Theater. When Katelyn is not performing, she enjoys studying music software, arranging music for the trio, composing lofi beats, and playing video games.   Join us in person, by live-stream, OR on-demand!

Want to learn how to jam, or just want to jam? This workshop and jam session fits the bill! No "Dots" - No Problem! Oftentimes musicians are divided into two categories: those who can play by ear and those who need “dots” - music notes. Whether or not you like your dots, this workshop and jam session will be instructive and fun! Co-led by noted violinist/violist, teacher and educator Cookie Segelstein of internationally regarded Veretski Pass Klezmer Trio, with mandolinist Mike Thompson ( three time co-winner of the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention (BOTMC) String Band Contest), participants will learn tips, new tunes, and jamming protocols. Cookie and Mike will use simple, traditional Eastern and Western European melodies, as well as old-timey American pieces to guide participants to feeling comfortable in a jam session even if this is your first time jamming! After learning the melodies, we start to apply the stylistic elements, ornaments, trills, frills and thrills. And then - everyone gets to jam! This class is best suited for intermediate players and above and open to all acoustic instruments. Information Source: Calliope: East Bay Music & Arts | eventbrite
