"Music at Bunker Hill is always full of surprises, big and small. The Sunday, October 21 Trios performance was unique on many levels. Will Frampton’s performance of a piece by 90-year-old composer Thea Musgrave—on her husband’s viola, accompanied by a recorded tape—was fascinating. The contrast between the taped sounds and the rich, glowing tones of the live viola was mesmerizing. Bridget Kibbey’s performance of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on the harp was breathtaking, defying all expectations. Lance Suzuki’s explanation of how Toru Takemitsu was influenced by Debussy made both composers' works even more meaningful. His mastery of the various flutes made the Trios experience extraordinary."
