In honor of founding cellist Eric Edberg's upcoming retirement, the DePauw Chamber Players have chosen one of his favorite pieces for this performance in the intimate atmosphere of Music on the Square: Tchaikovsky's massive and deeply moving Piano Trio in A Minor. Complimenting this mature work and keeping with an all-Russian evening, the concert will also include Shostakovich's early Piano Trio No. 1, written when the composer was just 17.

The Depauw Jazz Ensemble showcases its versatility with pieces ranging from swing, funk and gospel to Latin tango and Afro-Cuban stylings. "Yardbird Suite" and "Ticker" give a nod to the masters of the past, Charlie Parker and Count Basie. The more modern tune "Prayer Meetin" adds elements from jazz's roots with its gospel influences. The funky "Smoke and Mirrors," mysterious "Oblivion," and high-energy "Cubauza" provide interesting grooves to contrast the swing feel typically heard in jazz. Each piece offers plenty of room for student soloists to add their individual musical voices.
