The School of American Music (SAM) will present “Dreams and Visions,” an oboe, viola and piano program featuring Oboist Jennet Ingle, on Friday, February 28, 7pm EST at the Converge Community Church in New Buffalo. The concert, part of SAM’s Free Family Concert Series, will feature the world premiere of a trio, Visions and Dreams, by Marjorie Rusche.

The program is a collaboration between SAM and the Michigan City Chamber Music Festival (MCCMF), and will be presented a second time on Saturday, February 29, 3pm CST at the First Presbyterian Church in Michigan City as part of MCCMF’s Cookies, Coffee and Classics Series.

Ingle is Principal Oboist with the South Bend Symphony and the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra, and Oboe Instructor at Valparaiso University. Other members of her trio include Rachel Goff on viola and Mariah Boucher on piano. Goff is Violist with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra and Boucher is a Collaborative Pianist on the faculty of Indiana University South Bend and Vocal Coach at the University of Notre Dame.

Both concerts are free, but attendees are encouraged to pick up tickets in advance for the New Buffalo performance. Tickets are available at SAM’s website.
