Bill Rudiak 24th-time host

We are delighted to host the Vinifera Trio (Rachel Patrick-violin, Matt Boyles-clarinet, Ian Scarfe-piano) with special guest 'cellist James Jaffe for the first show of their Groupmuse Double-Header on Saturday, April 28, with two different programs presented at two different Groupmuses in Oakland.

Why the double-header, you ask? Well, this quartet of friends will soon be setting off for a summer tour in France, and this Double-Header serves as an East-Bay tour-kickoff event. They have dozens of major works to present on their Euro-Tour, and they wanted to showcase so many of them that one single Groupmuse could not contain it!
