SARANAC — Advanced string and piano students from the renowned Meadowmount School of Music will perform at the Saranac Methodist Church on state Route 3 on Tuesday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m.

The young musicians, who are on professional career tracks, come from around the world. They have undergone a rigorous selection process to win the honor of attending Meadowmount’s seven-week training program, founded in 1944 by Ivan Galamian, the legendary Russian violinist and Juilliard pedagogue in Lewis.

The program features three masterpieces in the classical chamber music canon: Beethoven’s “Trio in c minor, Op. 9, No. 3,” performed by Enrique Rodrigues, violin; Brian Po-Sung Huang, viola; and Eugene Ye, cello; followed by Ysaye’s “Sonata for Solo Violin, Op. 27, No. 5,” performed by Kento Hong, violin; and concluding with Mendelssohn’s “String Quartet in f minor, Op. 80,” performed by Yiu Chi Blues Zhang and Muyang Wu, violins; Julianna Bramble, viola; and Mira Kardan, cello.

Free and open to the public, the concert is sponsored by Hill and Hollow Music. Free-will donations will be accepted for the Meadowmount Scholarship Fund. Refreshments will be served during intermission. Masks are optional, but encouraged. For more information, call 518-293-7613, email ambrown.hillholl@gmail.com or visit www.hillandhollowmusic.org.
