The Rawlins Piano Trio is a dynamic group of performers, teachers and scholars, distinguishing itself in arts outreach, masterclasses and a variety of performances. “These artists are first class. They perform with elan and intensity. Highly recommended!” says bassist and Inner Game of Music author Barry Green. Prestigious performance venues include Sejong Chamber Hall (Seoul, South Korea), Chiang-Kai-Shek Cultural Center (Kaohsiung, Taiwan), Teatro de Anita Villalaz for the Fundación Sinfonía Concertante de Panama and national conferences of the College Music Society and Chamber Music America.

Their diverse repertoire ranges from standard works to new and undiscovered pieces deserving to be brought into the public light. Owing to its expertise as a preeminent interpreter of American music, the ensemble has recorded five CDs of these works. Attracting Opposites (Azica, 2013) celebrates commissions by Miguel Roig-Francoli, Stephen Yarbrough, James Lentini, Timothy Hoekman and Emma Lou Diemer. In 2009, American Discoveries (Albany) presented the Trio’s first commissioned composition--Volvic Maritim by New York based composer, Daniel Bernard Roumain. Reviewer J. Scott Morrison declared American Discoveries, “…another winner from the Rawlins Trio…they continue their work of bringing us American composers' music that is worth hearing…Their playing is artful, suave and pleasing.”

The members of the Trio are on the faculty of the University of South Dakota Department of Music. As enthusiastic teachers, outreach is a vital component of their touring schedule with masterclasses and school visits on a regular basis throughout the United States and abroad. The ensemble is named in honor of the late Marjorie and Robert Rawlins, its principal benefactors, and graduates of the University of South Dakota in the 1940s.

Are you interested in learning to pray the Liturgy of the Hours? Or have you begun to pray it, but find yourself distracted by too many pages to flip?

“How to Pray the Liturgy of the Hours” is an introduction to this ancient prayer form, for those who are totally new to it, and for those who have begun but aren’t comfortable with it yet.

Along with a presentation, we will have a “hands-on” session with a variety of Office books, so if you have begun to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, have your books handy. (And if you haven’t purchased books yet, you might find which styles appeal to you.)

Same Presentation in two formats:
January 14 3:30 p.m. at the Benedictine Peace Center
OR
January 17, 7:00 p.m. on Zoom

Same Presentation in two formats:
January 28 3:00 p.m. at the Benedictine Peace Center
