The Palisades Virtuosi flute, clarinet and piano trio presents Hope Springs Eternal - the third subscription concert of their 2014-2015 season on Sunday, April 19 at 7:30 PM at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, 113 Cottage Place in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The evening, presented by Society Café Concert Series, will also include a pre-concert composer and performer talk at 6:45.

The April 19 concert repertoire includes the World Premiere of a newly commissioned work by composer Gary Schocker. This is part of the ensemble's "mission to commission", which has so far resulted in more than 40 new works created for them since 2003.

Other works on the program are Beethoven's Spring Sonata, arranged by the Virtuosi, Lili Boulanger's D'Un Matin du Printemps, Frank Bridge's Four Short Pieces, Eric Ewazen's Wildflowers, Joseph Lamb's American Beauty Rag and Mendelssohn's Spring Song.

Tickets for the April 19 concert are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. For tickets, please call 201-444-6225 or visit http://www.societycafeconcertseries.com/reserve.html. A reception with artists and composers will follow the concert.
