Highly acclaimed cellist Jerome Wright will join pianist Frances Veri and violinist Michael T. Jamanis in a community concert at El Redentor and St. Paul’s United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 7 at 4 p.m. This is the second performance in the Tango Torpedo concert series which is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts to bring world class chamber music to multi-cultural audiences of all backgrounds. The concert is free and open to the public.
Wright is former Assistant Principal Cellist of the State Symphony Orchestra in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and former soloist with the U.S. Army White House Strings. He will perform on a violoncello made by Giovanni Battista Rogeri in 1677.
