The Trust Announces 2019-20 Season By Ann Mead Ash
“This will be our sixth season, and we will have six concerts,” said Jessica Pavelko, public relations and marketing director with The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster. “We will have an assortment of concerts and theater.” The Trust season will kick off on Thursday, Oct. 3, with Mike Block, cellist and vocalist, and Sandeep Das, playing the tabla, a percussion instrument that originated in India. The pair met through The Silk Road Project coordinated by Yo-Yo Ma with the goal of bringing together musicians from the East and the West. The duo has been sharing music with audiences since 2013, traveling the world playing adaptations along with their own compositions.
Pavelko characterized the second concert, “Seen” - a song cycle by Kristen Brewer - as “a women’s Bible study in concert form.” “(Brewer) touches on key moments of women in the Bible who are in the lineage of Jesus Christ,” said Pavelko. Brewer will perform the piece Thursday and Friday, Nov. 21 and 22, at 7:30 p.m. each night. Calmus is a German a capella ensemble, which will be performing in America for the first time. “(Calmus) won the German equivalent of the Grammy,” said Robert Bigley, executive director of The Trust. “(The members) are a very respected European vocal ensemble.” Pavelko noted that The Trust acoustics are especially suited to a capella. “They will be performing some of their personal favorites, and that will be our Christmas concert,” said Pavelko of the show planned for Friday, Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m. See The Trust pg 4
VOCES8 will play at The Trust Performing Arts Center on Feb. 13 and 14, 2020. The group will be among several guest performers at the venue during the upcoming season, which will kick off on Oct. 3 with cellist and vocalist Mike Block and percussionist Sandeep Das.

parents bought in 1960. “My dad learned the electrical trade, but he never left the farm,” she added, recalling that she and her four siblings spent their summer days doing chores. “We children were thrilled to go back to school,” said Mary. “The other students would complain that they were bored over the summer, but we had worked See Two Families pg 5
