Hello friends of the MCO!
Here we are again! The second concert in the MCOâs Winter Series is fast approaching, and I canât wait! Like many of you, Iâll be tuning in to the concert this evening to enjoy a fabulous performance featuring Rachel Kristenson (violin), Momoko Matsumura (viola and violin), and Minna Rose Chung (cello).
Did you know these musicians have never played together as a string trio? Rachel, Momoko, and Minna joined me for a quick Zoom chat, and I am excited to share some of our conversation! I guarantee that youâll learn something new and take away some interesting tidbits that will make this concert even more enjoyable!
Meet the musicians! Minna, Momoko, and Rachel join Suzu for a conversation where they discuss playing together as a trio for the first time and their experiences recording this concert for the MCO Winter Series:
Minna, Momoko, and Rachel guide us through the repertoire they chose for this concert and discuss some of the challenges of preparing and recording this program:
Minna, Momoko, and Rachel share what they are most looking forward to and what they hope the audience will experience at this concert:

Oblivion will premiere on Thursday, February 17 at 7:30pm. We hope you enjoy!
