She currently is the principal cellist of the Washington (Pa.) and Greenville (Pa.) symphonies and plays in the cello section of the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra.

She has performed on Romanian National and West Virginia public radio and is the winner of numerous competitions. She is an active composer with special interests in classical, jazz and contemporary music and, since 2020, has released two albums of her own works.

The concert will open with performances by New Music Guild coordinators Gwyneth Rollin, violin, and Robert Rollin, piano, of Robert Rollin’s original works.

Rollin will perform his “Recollections of Sally” in memory of close friend, talented violinist & choral director, Sally Maloy Dolovy and “Night Thoughts I.”

Gains DuBos and Scheibert will perform Carlos Guastavino’s “La Rosa y El Sauce” and Victor Simon’s “Inattendu,” both mainstays of the Argentinian repertoire; Robert Rollin’s “Spiritual Images”; the first movement of Beethoven’s Sonata No.3; and Rollin’s “Two Corridos.”

As soloist Du Bos will play part of Bach’s Cello Suite; the world premiere of Rollin’s “In Memory of Wayne,” written for his good friend trombonist Wayne Kankovsky, and other Rollin’s compositions. Scheibert will play her own “Magic in the Forest.”

The concert starts at 3 p.m. Sunday at Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Holy Apostles Parish, 421 Covington St., Youngstown. Admission is free, and it will be followed by an after party with refreshments in the church basement.
