The Concordia String Trio (CST) concert will feature the world premiere of Beyond the Celestial Horizon by Berklee College of Music composer Andrew List. The piece was written in celebration of CSTs 20th anniversary. Mr. List has been fortunate to enjoy a number of residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Aspen Music Festival, La Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and Visby Centre for Composers in Sweden. He was awarded a distinguished artist-in-residence grant, sponsored by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, the city of Amsterdam and the American Embassy in The Hague. Other works on the program include American composer Gwyneth Walker’s When the Spirit Sing, a set based on three American spirituals, and the delightful string trio by World War I French composer Jean Cras.

The Lincoln performance is the CST’s first of four concerts in their fall 2022 tour in Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, and Boston.

Their newest recordings are Viennese String Trios, released in August 2017 on the Centaur Label and American Vistas, released in 2018 on the same label.
This event is free and open to the public.
