Photos of the River Concert Tributary Series concert with José Cueto (violin), Nancy Roldán (piano), Heather Haughn (violin), Jim Kelly (viola) and Barbara Brown (violincello) on July 20, 2019.  They played Argentinian music by Piazzolla, Guastavino and Ginastera at St. Mary's Hall at St. Mary's College or Maryland.  Some of the music showed off the many ways to play stringed instruments and the last piece "Allegro Tangábile" was particularly difficult and exciting.
  Please share with your friends.
