ENTERTAINMENT NOTES

Eureka Springs Auditorium hosts concert by Eroica Trio

The Eroica Trio -- pianist Erika Nickrenz, violinist Sara Perkins and cellist Sara Sant'Ambrogio -- will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Eureka Springs Auditorium, 36 S. Main St., Eureka Springs.

The program -- a Chaconne by J.S. Bach arranged for the trio by pop performer Anne Dudley of Art of Noise; Oblivion and "Otono" from The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires by Astor Piazzolla; Cafe Music by Paul Schoenfield; and the Piano Trio No. 2 in C major, op.87, by Johannes Brahms -- is almost identical to the one the trio played in Eureka Springs in June 2012 (it did not include the Bach piece but did include the entire Four Seasons of Buenos Aires and Brahms' Piano Trio No. 1). Tickets are $30, $10 for students 16 and younger. Visit theauditorium.org.

The concert is part of Sant'Ambrogio's "Eureka Springs Into Music" project, which will include a week-long program in late February and/or early March with youth outreach mini-concerts, presentations and workshops at area schools. Visit eurekaspringsintomusic.com.

Sant'Ambrogio played a Eureka Springs recital with pianist Robert Koenig in August 2014 to raise awareness and support for the festival.
