Red Cedar Chamber Music performed their program “Passion and Peril” Saturday, Sept. 28, at Lisbon Heritage Hall.

Roughly 11 were in attendance for the Chamber Music concert.

“This is a concert I look forward to every year,” said attendee Judith Pim. “It’s always amazing to hear the classical music performed in our own Heritage Hall.”

Songs on Passion and Peril include “Fun and Frolic” by Peter Bloesch, the romantic Serenade by Hans Gál to Dances of Peril by Gilad Cohen. There was also a number of variations on the Iowan Corn Song called Iowa Moods by Michael Kimber.

“We wanted to have a variety of music for this series, and wanted a special concert opener,” explained Carey Bostian said. “I approached Peter Bloesch about a piece, and he came up with ‘Fun and Frolic.’”

As for the Iowa Moods piece, that was one Red Cedar Chamber Music has had since 2019 and were looking to make an appearance in the set.

“It featured a lot of different styles of music on the Iowa Corn Song,” Bostian said.

Meara Kim and Bostian noted after the concert that they have been to Lisbon for numerous years to present their chamber music.

“One of the things we really love about performing at Heritage Hall is just the acoustics of the space,” Kim said. “It’s like one of those hidden gems. It gives us chances to be able to play around with the songs a little bit.”
