January 21
Meredith Clark is playing a concert as part of a newly formed group, the Joshua Trio, alongside soprano Ann Moss and cellist Emil Miland at Noe Valley Ministry on January 21 at 4pm. The Joshua Trio was born out of a 2017 residency at composer Lou Harrison’s desert retreat. This ensemble embraces Lou’s lifetime commitment to experimentalism, activism, and concern for the environment, celebrating his creative legacy with concerts that are daring yet playful, cerebral yet ruminative, invigorating yet restorative.
