Shawn@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ On Aug. 25, Hill and Hollow Music will present the world renowned Prima Trio, in a free concert at the United Methodist Church on Route 3 in Saranac. Featuring music ranging from classical to contemporary, the trio made its debut at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in 2007. Since then they have received countless honors world-wide for their music, including the Grand Prize in the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, as well as the Gold Medal in the Senior Division of that competition. Ò WeÕ re looking forward to seeing this beautiful part of the state and making music there,Ó said Uzbekistan born violinist Gulia Gurevich. Ò WeÕ re taking a week and going up there prior to our performance and we will be working on two new works that we havenÕ t had a chance to work on. So it will be wonderful just to relax and work on these pieces, then we will present them on the 25th when we have our concert.Ó
