A piano, violin and cello concert is set for Jan. 23 and 24 by Trio Solisti, which translates to three soloists, in Marathon this evening and Islamorada tomorrow.
Playing Mozart, Dvorak and Mussorgsky, the audience is in for a treat as these distinctive and distinguished artists play individually and as an ensemble to make music that has been called “fiery,” “soulful” and “soaring.” Trio Solisti celebrates 10 years of playing together this year.

Islamorada concerts are held at the Island Community Church, mile marker 83 bayside, at 7:30 p.m., a new and earlier start time for this year. Also new for this year, homemade refreshments are to be sold at intermission by the students of Island Christian School as fundraising for its various organizations.
