The Barrie Concert Association presents “Troubled Times, Indomitable Spirits”, with Barrie’s own Duo Kashperova (pianist Sandra Ruttan and cellist Alyssa Wright), on Sunday, April 26 at 2:30pm. The concert takes place at Bethel Community Church, 128 St. Vincent Street in Barrie, ON. Admission is by freewill donation, with all proceeds going to support the Barrie Concert Association.

The concert features music from three composers who lived through difficult, dangerous and oppressive situations, yet persisted in creating beautiful and meaningful music. Despite the obstacles they faced, their legacy of music remains. Duo Kashperova will be bringing some of that legacy alive as they perform “Troubled Water” by Margaret Bonds, “Impressions” by Henriette Bosmans, and the Canadian premiere of the recently rediscovered and major work, Sonata for Piano and Cello Op.1 No.1 by Leocadiya Kashperova.
