CANNON BEACH — The Northwest Piano Trio will play “Seasons of Dance,” a 3 p.m. Sunday free concert at the Cannon Beach Community Church.

The trio is made up of cellist and founder Hannah Hillebrand, violinist Esther Shim — who has played with the Portland Festival Symphony, the Willamette Master Chorus and the Oregon Symphony — and pianist Stephanie Smith, who enjoys playing the venue’s 7-foot Steinway Model B Grand Piano.

Alluring acoustics and welcoming audiences have kept the trio coming back to the church twice per year over the past six years to play concerts that are free and open to the public. The trio was founded in 2014.

Their performances include traditional classical music as well as music of 20th and 21st-century composers, offering a contemporary perspective. For more information about the trio, visit www.northwestpianotrio.com.
