Strings of Memory with Melissa Terrall and Christine Ebersohl-Van Scyoc

Join us for an evening of international music featuring Melissa Terrall and Christina Ebersohl-Van Scyoc

Embark on a powerful musical journey that spans continents, cultures, and centuries. Strings of Memory weaves together the passionate voices of Mexico and the Arab world in a program that explores how composers express national identity, tradition, and deep human emotion through classical music.

Featuring acclaimed performers Melissa Terrall on piano and Christina Ebersohl-Van Scyoc on viola, the evening highlights José Pablo Moncayo’s emotionally charged Viola Sonata and Dia Succari’s colorful, rhythm-driven 5 Syrian Dances. Two additional solo works, one rooted in Mexican tradition and one inspired by Arab heritagem, offer an intimate, personal glimpse into the soul of each culture.

Blending the familiar with the unexpected, this concert celebrates the beauty of musical dialogue across borders, inviting listeners to hear classical music through a vibrant, global lens. From fiery melodies to lyrical reflections, Strings of Memory promises an evening that is both moving and unforgettable.

Experience the stories, rhythms, and emotions that connect us all.
