Pamela Roberts and Sheila Harwood, a classical cello and piano duo, will perform at Trinity United Methodist’s Candlelight Concerts in August.

The next concert is 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26 at Trinity United Methodist Church and will be a live, one-set show with no intermission. 

The concert will be live-streamed at https://trinityumcpt.org/, which includes a link for the Candlelight Concerts and ways to donate. The concert will also be simulcast on KPTZ FM 91.9. 

Organizers said the music for the concert will be mostly lighter, summery fare, including works by Couperin, Debussy, Ravel, Faure, Vaughn Williams, Copeland, Schumann, and a little Rachmaninoff for the romantics.

She was principal cellist of the Tacoma Symphony and 5th Avenue Theatre Orchestra and is currently principal cellist of the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra.

Harwood earned her degrees in piano performance at the University of Washington under Bela Siki, followed by advanced studies at London’s Royal Academy of Music. She began her teaching career at the University of Washington and worked as pianist and teacher in the greater Seattle area for more than 25 years. Hardwood is currently the music coordinator for Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
