Faculty and students of the Holy Names Music Center at Fort Wright will be joined by guest violinist John Konigsmark on Sunday for a scholarship benefit concert at the Davenport Hotel.

The concert will feature Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” String Quartet as well as vocal and instrumental works by Biber, Mozart, Faure, Puccini and Stravinsky.

Performers for the Schubert quartet include Holy Names Center faculty members violinist Tracy Dunlop, violist Claire Keeble and cellist Cheryl Carney. They will be joined by Konigsmark, who has been a member of the San Francisco Symphony and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Philadelphia and who is now production director of the Methow Valley Music Festival.

New and old compositions for two trumpets will be represented Sunday by 17th-century German composer Heinrich Biber’s Duets for Two Trumpets and 20th-century Russian Igor Stravinski’s “Fanfare for a New Theater” performed by William Berry and Christopher Cook.

Harpist Camille Peterson will play Gabriel Faure’s Impromptu, Op. 86. Soprano Susan Windham will sing arias from Mozart’s “Ilre pastore” and Puccini’s “Turandot,” accompanied by pianist Chelle Baravalle with violin obbligato by Becky Miller.

A pre-concert recital will include performances by Holy Names Center scholarship recipients Kira Chumov on piano; Jessica Kuo, flute, and Raymond Cox and Sarah Heck, violins. Student participants were selected by Spokane Symphony music director Fabio Mechetti.
