The upcoming concert is part of LCMS’ Concerts Café Classico Sunday afternoon series.

“LCMS will present a program that complements Emma’s gorgeous sound and masterful technique on the oboe with the rich, melodic balance of Mark’s undeniable expertise on the piano,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director of concerts at LCMS and half of the popular Bergmann Piano Duo.
