Trio Con Brio, a musical ensemble from Sweden, will present a concert at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 700 S. Snelling Avenue, Saint Paul, MN on Sunday, June 27, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. They will also play at services in the morning at Gloria Dei.  Trio con Brio performed at Gloria Dei a couple of years ago and wanted to return to perform in our beautiful sanctuary.  Please join us for this lovely afternoon of music.

The trio, which consists of flute, oboe/english horn and piano, were all trained at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.

The trio will play a delightful program of mostly scandinavian music including some Swedish hymns.

A reception follows the concert in the Gathering Place.

There is no charge, but, a freewill offering is welcome.

About TRIO CON BRIO - It all began in 2001, when Jan Holmgren got the idea of putting together a trio consisting of one flute, one oboe and a piano. They should play music that would be arranged only for this constallation and the music genre should be very wide and not connected to a specific type of music. Trio con Brio was born, and today the trio consists of Carina Cederwall, flute and vocal, Jan Holmgren, oboe / english horn and vocal, and Stig Andersson, piano / arrangements and vocal. They are all educated at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Their repertoire goes from classical music to well known hymns via jazz, musicals and film music. Composers that they have on their music list are G Winkler, E Grieg, C Nielsen, G Gershwin, F Kreisler, W A Mozart, L v Beethoven and G Faure.
