SEED

May 31, 2026

The weekend closed with a sold-out piano trio performance featuring Sharon Gayoung Cho, violin, WanYi Pan, cello, and Kathryn Felt, piano. The concert took place in The Barn at Faraway Farm Alpacas. The program explored the first stage of growth and included the premiere of Angelique Mouyis's How to Breathe from The Trees Speak for piano trio. It was incredibly special to perform this program amid farm tools, hay bales, flowers, birdsong, and a large gable window opening onto the trees and sky. We gifted seed packets and compost coins to audience members with the hope that they will cultivate growth in their own gardens and communities. What a magical day!
