Belton, TX – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor will round out its Hillman Visiting Artists Series with “Royal Flush.” This concert features chamber music and examines the friendships among composers and between musicians and royal patrons. The performance will be held Thursday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hughes Recital Hall of Presser Hall on the UMHB campus. This event is free and open to the public.
This program continues the season’s homage to the great Ludwig van Beethoven with his monumental Piano Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 97 “Archduke”; while also showcasing Franz Josef Haydn’s Piano Sonata in C Major, No. 50, and Edward Elgar’s Romance for Violin and Piano, Op. 1.
Performing artists include elite chamber musicians: Sandy Yamamoto, violin; Amy Levine-Tsang, cello; and UMHB Professor and Hillman Artistic Director, Michelle Schumann, on piano.
