Music at Noon: The Logan Series presents IonSound Project March 5

"Music at Noon: The Logan Series" continues March 5 with a performance by IonSound Project, a Pittsburgh-based trio with a repertoire of more than 80 works by established and emerging composers. The concert, in Penn State Behrend’s McGarvey Commons, begins at noon; the performance is free and open to the public.

IonSound Project formed in 2004 and for 10 years served as the ensemble-in-residence at the University of Pittsburgh. The ensemble’s members — Kathleen Costello on clarinet, Elisa Kohanski on cello and Jack Kurutz on piano — have partnered with public and private schools in the Pittsburgh area, leading workshops in which students build their own instruments and compose their own music.

"Music at Noon: The Logan Series" was founded by Kay Logan in 1989 and is supported by a $1 million endowment by the Kay Hardesty Logan Foundation. The series was designed to strip away the mystique that often is attached to professional chamber music. The lunchtime concerts, which are presented in McGarvey Commons, in the college’s Reed Union Building, are informal, and a portion of the seating is reserved for students from Erie’s Diehl Elementary School.
