The Festival at Sandpoint is pleased to present an evening with Sandpoint’s own Jason Moody and his Selway Trio at the historic Panida Theater on Thursday, June 13, at 7:30 p.m., with proceeds to benefit the Festival’s Summer Youth Music Camp.
Dr. Jason Moody, a Sandpoint native who is currently first violin with the Spokane Symphony, is the music director of the Festival’s Summer Youth Music Camp, a tuition-free opportunity for students of all abilities, ages 8-18, including four fun-filled days of music instruction with classes including orchestra, band, choir chamber music, jazz band, classical guitar, harp, bucket beat percussion, piano, fiddle ensemble, flute ensemble, folk dance, melody composition, music theory, master classes and more!
Camp registration is currently full but the public is invited to a Faculty All-Star Concert on Monday, June 24, at the Panida and the Grand Finale Student Concert on Thursday, June 27.
The Selway Trio, from Moscow, has offered to perform the concert on June 13 to benefit the Festival’s Summer Youth Music Camp. They will be performing selections by Clara Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn and Astor Piazzolla. The members of the trio met one another last year as music professors at the Lionel Hampton School of Music at the University of Idaho and have been performing as a trio ever since. Their violinist, Jason Moody, began his violin career at the age of 4, here in Sandpoint. He was the first recipient of the Festival at Sandpoint Music Scholarship in 1998, and now holds a doctorate in violin pedagogy. Cellist, Miranda Wilson, originally from New Zealand, holds a doctorate in cello performance, and pianist Yoon-Wha Roh, originally from Korea, holds her doctorate in piano performance.
“Please join us for a stellar performance by one of Sandpoint’s native sons to benefit a wonderful cause!” said Festival Executive Director Dyno Wahl.
Tickets are $15, $10 for seniors and youth, available online at festivalatsandpoint.com, by calling 208-265-4554, or at the Festival office and at Eve’s Leaves downtown.
