The Melius Piano Trio ? three St. Olaf College music faculty members on violin, cello and piano ? will perform a recital at 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at the college.

The recital, free and open to the public, will be in St. Olaf College?s Urness Recital Hall, Christiansen Hall of Music. The Melius Piano Trio consists of Charles Gray, violin; David Carter, cello; and Kathryn Ananda-Owens, piano.

The trio will perform Apératif by Tom Benjamin; Piano Trio No. 1 in E-flat major, Opus 1, No. 1 by Ludwig van Beethoven; Trio in D minor, Opus 120 by Gabriel Fauré; and Second Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano by Charles de Beriot.

The trio are members on the music performance faculty at St. Olaf College, frequent solo performers in the Minneapolis area and collaborators in chamber music on a regular basis. In November 1999 they appeared as soloists with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra in Beethoven?s Triple Concerto. They appear regularly in an annual series at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and present concerts in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.

St. Olaf College prepares students to become responsible citizens of the world, fostering development of mind, body and spirit. A four-year, coeducational liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), St. Olaf has a student enrollment of 2,950 and a full-time faculty complement of approximately 300. It is one of Money Guide?s top 100 "elite values in college education today," and it leads the nation?s colleges in percentage of students who study abroad.
