The Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) fine and performing arts department will present "A Fresh Field of Music," part of its LCHS Community Outreach Concert and Lecture Series, on Thursday, May 16, at 7 p.m. The event will take place at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 31 S. Duke St., Lancaster.

The concert will feature pianist Frances Veri, violinist Michael Jamanis, and cellist Susan Moyer Bergeron, who is a Lancaster native. They will premiere Richard Field's Piano Trio No. 1, which blends elements of classical, jazz, and popular music. They will also present works by Bach, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Dvorak, and Piazzolla.

Jamanis is the son of Veri, and he, Bergeron, and Field have known each other since childhood. Field now resides in Budapest, Hungary.

Jamanis and Veri have been artists in residence at the LCHS performing arts series since 2012. They have a history of involvement in the music community of Lancaster and around the world as touring artists. Jamanis directs Music For Everyone's education program and is a senior adjunct professor at Franklin & Marshall College.

Like Jamanis, Bergeron comes from a musical family. Her father, Karl Moyer, taught organ lessons and music courses at Millersville University for 30 years. He was also a music critic for the Lancaster New Era. Bergeron's late mother, Carolyn, was a well-known string teacher and a member of the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra for many years, and a string lesson program was established in her memory through Music For Everyone in 2023. Sister Cynthia is a music professor.

Bergeron began her musical journey at age 4, and she won numerous awards as a child. A summer spent at the Kinhaven music camp in Weston, Va., inspired her to become a professional cellist. She holds degrees from the New England Conservatory of Music, the University of Akron, and the University of Miami. She is a former member of the New World Symphony, a current member of the Naples Philharmonic, and a founding member of the Dalbergi Trio.

Admission is free. Donations by cash or check will be received for the LCHS Tri-M Music Honor Society's community service charity project recipient, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
