Looking for some romantic music to end the weekend? Enjoy the Distinguished Artists Concert Series: Mira Trio, Piano, Violin, Cello, with a tour at 1 p.m. and concert at 2 p.m. The Mira Trio is named after the red star in the constellation Cetus-Stella Mira-meaning "the wonderful star." The trio's name reflects their commitment to showcasing the power of music of the Classical and early Romantic periods to inspire audiences with wonder. They will perform pieces by Felix Mendelsson and his older sister Fanny. This program is $10 for Currier members and $20 for non-members.
