On Sunday, April 6th at 4pm, The Arts at Trinity brings Serafin once again to their longstanding free series in downtown Wilmington. This program of Serafin roster artists features Hal Grossman in a short, evocative work for solo violin, When Our Home is Gone, by Washington DC based composer Noam Faingold (b. 1984). Faingold’s music has been praised in The New York Times, and on the BBC, and described as “…lyrical…”, “…exhilarating…”, and “…a tour-de-force of Jazz melded with Classical. Serafin cellist, Guang Wang of the acclaimed Vega Quartet will join Mr. Grossman, violist Amadi Azikiwe, and New Zealander pianist, Read Gainsford in Fauré’s Piano Quartet #2. Beethoven is always a winner, and the Serafins offer here his first piano trio when Kate Ransom (violin) takes the stage with her colleagues.

Things heat up in May, when Serafin Ensemble heads back to Grace UMC, joined by special guest pianist, Roberta Rust, up from Florida on May 9th for It’s Classic! - Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart.
