The Morpheus Trio live in concert

The Morpheus Trio, composed of Kyle Engler (mezzo soprano), Larry Williams (French horn) and Daniel Lau (piano), will perform in concert as part of Carroll County Arts Council’s Sunday Classics Concert Series on March 19.

The trio was formed in the ’90s when all three musicians were students at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Inspired by Schubert’s “Auf dem Strom,” the trio searched for music with instrumentation for voice, horn and piano. While only a modest amount of repertoire was in the canon, the group uncovered hidden gems and also partnered with living composers commissioning a number of works. Today, their concerts celebrate both classics and new discoveries for their unique instrumentation. The show starts at 2 p.m. at the Carroll Arts Center, 91 W. Main St., Westminster. Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 ages 25 and under and ages 60 and up and can be purchased at carrollcountyartscouncil.org or by calling 410-848-7272.

Award-winning Columbia Orchestra director

Jason Love, who has served as the Columbia Orchestra music director since 1999, will step down from his position on June 30.

During his time with the organization, the orchestra has more than doubled in size. Under his direction, the orchestra averages 11 classical concerts per season, as well as two pops concerts, educational concerts and chamber performances. In the fall of 2022, the orchestra presented a free classical concert at Chrysalis at Merriweather Park, an outdoor venue, with an audience of more than 1,200 attendees.

“Jason has been an important part of our orchestra, organization and community for many years and I am sad to see that he will not hold the same role, but at the same time, happy
