(Port Orford, Oregon) - As tasty as any well-done seafood and as beautiful as the local scenery: Port Orford, Bandon, Coos Bay and Brookings are again the sites of some lovely musical offerings.

The Redfish Music Festival returns to the Southern Oregon coast this spring with a four-city piano trio tour beginning Thursday, March 26, at Zion Lutheran Church in Port Orford. The Redfish Piano Trio contains the soaring talents of violinist and festival director Fritz Gearhart, cellist Andrew Smith, and Grammy-nominated pianist Genevieve Feiwen Lee. Their program includes works by Mel Bonis, Frank Martin, and Robert Schumann.

The concert opens with Soir et Matin, Op. 76 by Mel Bonis, a French composer whose music has been receiving renewed attention in recent years. Bonis, a graduate of the Paris Conservatoire and a contemporary of Debussy, wrote more than 300 works and often used a gender-neutral pen name to navigate the limitations placed on women composers in 19th-century France. The trio then performs Frank Martin’s Trio on Irish Folk Tunes, written in 1925 and built around ten traditional Irish melodies shaped into a lively and distinctive chamber piece. The program concludes with Schumann’s Piano Trio in F major, one of his most lyrical and enduring chamber works.

Tickets are available at a 2-for-1 rate in advance through Eventbrite or for $20 at the door. Children and students under 18 are admitted free. Free tickets may also be requested by email at redfishmusicfestival@gmail.com.

Tour dates:

Thursday, March 26, 7:00 pm — Zion Lutheran Church, 2015 Washington St, Port Orford

Friday, March 27, 7:00 pm — First Presbyterian Church, 2238 Pony Creek Rd, North Bend

Saturday, March 28, 3:00 pm — Trinity Lutheran Church, 1200 Easy Street, Brookings

Sunday, March 29, 3:00 pm — First Presbyterian Church, 592 Edison Ave SW, Bandon

A reception will follow the Bandon performance on March 29.

Founded in 2021, the Redfish Music Festival is named for the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve off Port Orford. The festival presents concerts year-round featuring internationally recognized musicians and hosts a Young Artist Fellowship Program each summer. It also maintains a strong focus on community education, bringing classical music into local schools to inspire young musicians.
