A trio will perform for the final concert of the Langley Community Music School’s (LCMS) Cafe Classico series.

Violinst Karina Slupski, cellist Ben Goheen, and pianist Christina Tong will play the memorable Tchaikovsky Piano Trio in a minor on Sunday, May 28.

Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director at LCMS, said it has been an extraordinary year of music.

“I am thrilled to conclude our 2022-23 concert season with my dedicated colleagues in the trio,” she said.

Slupski, from Poland, is a faculty member at LCMS and has performed with the Los Angeles Opera, the Pacific Symphony, Utah Chamber Artists, and Vancouver Symphony, and Vancouver Opera. She is also a founding member of the Sempre String Quartet.
