The many cultures that make up our community come together
in a lively chamber music concert. Czech folk songs and Latino dance rhythms
inspire classical trios for flute, cello & guitar. Music by Jewish
composers add yet another dimension. The centerpiece is the world premiere
of a new trio called Circle the Wagons written especially for
Red Cedar by the new kid on the block – 24-year old native Iowan
Michael Gilbertson, who is turning heads on the East Coast. (Photo by
