Her-monious: Trio Cavatina to kick off Trail Mix series featuring women this Sunday

Trio Cavatina

March being Women’s History Month, this time of year we often see a well-intentioned but brief flurry of public events targeted to appeal to the female population. But Rackelle Roden, the distaff half of the minds behind the Trail Mix Concerts at the Olive Free Library in West Shokan, does not intend to drop the ball at the end of the month. As the first volley in a yearlong campaign to present more women performers and women composers, this Sunday, March 18, Trail Mix will spotlight Trio Cavatina.

The San Francisco Examiner has dubbed Trio Cavatina “an ensemble that put the ‘chamber’ back in chamber music,” which sounds just right for the sort of intimate gatherings organized by Trail Mix. The players are violinist Harumi Rhodes, cellist Priscilla Lee and pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute. Formed in 2005 at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, Trio Cavatina went on to win the prestigious Naumberg Foundation Chamber Competition in 2009 and made its Carnegie Hall debut in 2010. The Trio’s first international tour in 2008 included performances in Jokubaviciute’s native Lithuania.

The Trail Mix concert, which gets underway at 2:30 p.m., will feature Big Sky, a piece by one of America’s greatest living female composers: Bard College’s own Joan Tower. It will be bookended by two Antonín Dvořák compositions: the Piano Trio in E minor, Opus 90 and the Piano Trio in F minor, Opus 65.

On April 15, the Trail Mix series will follow up with another all-female group: a piano trio performing a program of works by women composers. Violinist Eliza Barston, cellist Amy Sue Barston and pianist Amy Yang will play compositions by Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelsohn and Jennifer Higdon.

Tickets cost $20 general admission, $5 for students and $120 for a book of eight tickets good for admission to any regular Trail Mix concert. They are available at the box office one hour before the concert at (845) 657-2482, and can be pre-ordered by calling (845) 657-6864 or e-mailing tickets@trailmixmusic.org. Find out more about this Sunday’s concert by visiting www.trailmixmusic.org/season2011-2012/03-trio-cavatina.html, and more about Trio Cavatina at www.triocavatina.com.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
