This golden age for the guitar-flute-viola trio and other chamber music with guitar was ushered into being in the early 1800's as the industrial revolution and a musically hungry new middle class brought forth expressive trends less affected by stylistic constraints of the past, and as composers took advantage of significant changes in the tonal capabilities of musical instruments, prompting a dynamic new virtuoso interaction in chamber music. *St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church* 3615 North Gove Street in Tacoma •  suggested donation $15, $20 or $25  •  18 and under free  • all welcome!
