Feel the soul soothing power of classical music as the award-winning
group Prima Trio performs this Sunday at Cheyenne’s Central High.

The concert is sponsored by the Cheyenne Concert Association.

The Prima Trio is the Grand Prize and Gold Medal Winners of the
Prestigious 2007 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.

It’s comprised of pianist Anastasia Dedik, clarinetist Boris
Allakhverdyan, and violinist/viola player David Bogorad. Bogorad
hails from Denmark, Allakhverdyan is from Armenia and Dedik comes
from Russia.

"They met in Ohio at the Oberlin Conservatory," said Kathie Selden,
the president of the Cheyenne Concert Association. "They came from
all over the world and are touring all over the world."

The Prima Trio will perform pieces by Mozart, Schickele and others.

"They’ve all won numerous awards besides the one that they’ve won
as a trio," Selden said. "They’re truly professional musicians. They
are young themselves, but it’s good for young people in Cheyenne to
experience them in this small setting.

"It is an intimate setting when you’re at Central High School’s
auditorium to experience these really fine musicians."

This performance is a matinee.

"Many of our members have requested matinees over the years that I’ve
been involved in it," Selden said of the concert association.

The Cheyenne Concert Association works to bring professional musicians
and performers into local intimate settings with reasonable ticket
prices.

The next offering on the Cheyenne Concert Association’s season is
Home Free. That performance takes place on April 30.

"That concert will be fun because it’s Home Free, and it’s a male a
cappella group," Selden said.
