Review from The Durango Herald
"The concert concluded with two elegant tangos featuring violinist Chloe Trevor. Carlos Gardel’s 1935 “Tango Por Una Cabeza” may have sounded familiar to many as it has enhanced films such as “Scent of a Woman” and “Schindler’s List.” Translated, the odd title means: Tango, by a head, and refers to a man’s double addiction – betting on horses and women. If music is about obsession, tango is a perfect form.
Accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra with Fomin conducting, Trevor brought out the sensuous nature of the work, leaning into phrases and playing an almost inaudible pianissimo.
In a provocative pairing, Trevor played a second tango as an encore, spinning out Astor Piazzolla’s “Oblivion” as if it were made of mist.
The choice of “Oblivion” had a bittersweet quality. Piazzolla admired Gardel’s music and wrote a score for the 1986 film “El exilio de Gardel.” In turn, Piazzolla’s tango with its melancholic sadness seemed a perfect farewell for all the young musicians attending this year’s Conservatory Music in the Mountains.

The New Conservatory of Dallas and Arkady Fomin, its founder and artistic director, will present its Spring Overture Grand Finale in memory of one of the youth orchestra’s longtime supporters, Nancy Penn Penson.
The program begins at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the sanctuary of NorthPark Presbyterian Church at 9555 N. Central Expressway.

Nancy was heavily involved with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as vice president on the board of governors.”
Penson was also a member of the planning committee for the Meyerson Symphony Center and served on the boards of the Dallas Bach Society, Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts and Texas Winds Music Outreach.
The Spring Overture is put on by the young musicians of the New Conservatory. It will be directed by Fomin and Gary and Craig Needham.
The concert will include performances by Erin Hannigan, principal oboe soloist of Dallas Symphony Orchestra; violinist Chloe Trevor, grand prize winner of the Lynn Harrell Competition; violist Isabella Markham, who will attend the Juilliard School of Music this fall; and 12-year-old conservatory violinistMegan Lin. The program will include Vivaldi’s “Spring” from Four Seasons, Piazzolla’s “Oblivion” for oboe and strings, Mozart’s “Divertimento,” Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony, Copland’s “Hoedown” and more.
