Acclaimed Trio to Perform at Pitt-Bradford

Acclaimed trio janus will perform on Friday, Sept. 28, at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Flautist Amanda Baker, violist Beth Meyers, and harpist Nuiko Wadden will take to the stage of Harriett B. Wick Chapel at 7 p.m. The performance is free and is an offering of the university’s Spectrum Series.
Janus has prepared a diverse program of 20th- and 21st-century chamber music. It includes Claude Debussy’s seminal “Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp,” Toru Takemitsu’s “And then I Knew ‘Twas Wind,” and works by active composers Jan Bach, Cameron Britt, and Martin Matalon.
 
“It may sound unusual, but flute, viola, and harp make for a gorgeous ensemble,” said Dr. John Levey, assistant professor of music. “The musicians in janus are top-notch, and I couldn’t be more excited about the pieces they’ve programmed. I think the trio’s versatility and technical brilliance will really be on display.” Named for the Roman god whose two-faced images gazes toward both future and past, Brooklyn-based janus formed in 2002 to perform and assist in the creation of new works for its intriguing instrumental combination. Its debut recording, “i am not,” was released by New Amsterdam Records in 2010. For disability-related needs, contact the Office of Disability Resources at (814)362-7609 or clh71@pitt.edu.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
