On Sunday, May 19, the Friends of Music at the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness, Flat Rock, will present a concert featuring a trio of noted local musicians: Kate Steinbeck, flute; Katherine Haig, cello; and Dewitt Tipton, piano. The chamber music program will be held at 4:00 p.m. in the Wilderness Room of the Parish House complex, located at 1905 Greenville Hwy.

Kate Steinbeck is recognized across the U.S. and in Europe as a unique interpreter of a wide-ranging repertoire, an innovative producer and collaborator, as well as an enthusiastic teacher/ coach. In 2011 she co-founded Pan Harmonia.

Katherine Haig, a cellist, singer and arranger living in Asheville, is passionate about both early and contemporary music. Having studied at Baldwin Wallace University, she is currently training in the Suzuki method and is dedicated to teaching young students to be joyful and thoughtful musicians.
