February 3TRILOGY: The Cedarville University Faculty Trio Charles Pagnard, Trumpet; Jun Kim, Violin, and Charles Clevenger, Piano This trio is musical magic. Chamber music written for this combination of instruments is rare and challenging, requiring each performer to be not only a master of his instrument, but also to possess an exquisite sensitivity to the dynamics of the group. Pagnard, Kim, and Clevenger combine both that virtuoso technique and that consummate musicality, and their performances make this gymnastic, risky music look easy. Charles Pagnard is Principal Trumpet of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, Section Trumpet in the Cincinnati Pops, and First Trumpet in the Carillon Brass Quintet. He has served on the Cedarville University music faculty for 34 years. Jun Kim, who has conducted orchestras worldwide, teaches applied violin and conducts the University Orchestra; this is his 5th year at the University. Charles Clevenger, currently in his 30th year at Cedarville, is a concert pianist, experienced public speaker, master teacher, and a lecturer in the CU Honors program.8:00 PMDixon Ministry Center Recital Hall
