New Music Guild presents fall concert

The New Music Guild will honor veterans at its fall concert on Sunday.

The program will feature pianist and organist Sean Baran and cellist Silvia Games DuBos playing music by classical and modern composers.

Baran is organist at Boardman United Methodist Church. A summa cum laude graduate of the Dana School of Music, he is resident artist at the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center in Midland, Pa. He has served on the executive committee of the American Guild of Organists and as the Youngstown Symphony ensemble keyboardist.

Games DuBos, originally from Argentina, is principal cellist of the Washington, Pa., and Greenville symphonies and was principal cellist of the symphonies of Ohio University, Duquesne University and the Symphony Orchestra of Lanus National University in Argentina.

She also is artistic director of the ArsDocta International Music Festival. She runs a large private studio in Pittsburgh and holds a master’s in performance from Duquesne University.

The concert will open with performances by New Music Guild coordinators Gwyneth Rollin, violin, and Robert Rollin, piano. Among the memorial works will be the world premiers of Robert Rollin’s “In Memoriam Maureen” for solo piano, a tribute to long-time church activist Maureen Osuga, and “Remembering Sally” for solo cello, inspired by talented violinist Sally Moloy Dolovy.

Games DuBos and Baran will perform “Le Grand Tango” by Astor Piazzola. Other selections will include pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven, Henry Cowell and Frederic Jacobi.

The concert starts at 3 p.m. Sunday at SS. Peter and Paul Church-Holy Apostles Parish, 421 Covington St., Youngstown. Admission is free and a reception for Baran and Games DuBos will follow the concert in the church basement.
