From ZOAR LUTHERAN CHURCH
Zoar Lutheran Church, 314 E. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg, will host an evening concert on Friday, June 19, at 6 p.m., which will benefit PCU Food Pantry.
The program will feature Toledo Symphony Orchestra’s Emily Dietz with BGSU faculty Robert Satterlee and Caroline Eva Chin performing Johannes Brahms’ “Horn Trio” in E-flat.
Brahms’ “Horn Trio” in E-flat is rich and expressive. Unlike a standard piano trio, this work replaces the traditional cello with the horn – an instrument especially close to Brahms’ heart. His father played the horn beautifully, and Brahms himself was also proficient with it.
BGSU faculty Katherine and Keith Phares will also share two vocal duets by Ralph Vaughan Williams, “The Last Invocation” and “The Love-Song of the Birds,” both are settings of the poems by Walt Whitman.
The Vaughan Williams duets offer a blend of lyric beauty, intimacy, and wonder, pairing the composer’s expressive musical language with Whitman’s poetic reflections on love, longing, and the human spirit.
Cash donations will be collected at the concert, and 100% of the money received will go to PCU Food Pantry, which serves northern Wood County. A reception will follow the concert. No RSVP is needed. The community is invited to experience an evening where melodies, voices, and musicianship meet in support of neighbors throughout the community.
