The chamber ensemble Fire Pink Trio will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 6, at Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities in Southern Pines.

Jacquelyn Bartlett, harp, Debra Reuter-Pivetta, flute, and Sheila Browne, viola, make up the group, which formed in 2008.

They will be performing works by Sonny Burnette, Jan Back, Christopher Caliendo, Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy.

This dynamic and poetic trio combines the beautifully expressive harp, flute and viola. Just as each instrument has its uniquely beautiful voice, each member of Fire Pink Trio brings to the group a multitude of accolades including top prizes in international competitions, concerto performances and critically acclaimed recordings.

Jacquelyn Bartlett was born in Detroit, Mich., where she grew up surrounded by music. Her mother, Mary Bartlett, is a noted harpist, arranger, composer and teacher, and Jacquelyn began her musical studies at an early age with her mother.

After continued studies with world renowned harpists Carlos Salzedo and Alice Chalifoux, Bartlett, at age 16, made her solo debut in Chicago's Orchestra Hall. She graduated with honors from Interlochen Arts Academy and then attended Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where she majored in harp and minored in piano. Her harp teachers also include Lucy Lewis, Lucille Lawrence and Susann McDonald.

Subsequently, Bartlett was invited to perform with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Detroit Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, the Indianapolis Symphony, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Slovac Radio Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony, the Kansas City Philharmonic, the North Carolina Symphony and the Milwaukee Symphony, working with some of the world's most distinguished conductors.

Having served on the faculties of Duke University and the University of North Carolina, Bartlett currently is a member of the artist faculties of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Appalachian State University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the Community School of the Arts at Spirit Square in Charlotte. She is also artistic director of music at St. John's in Valle Crucis, and she appears regularly with Mallarme Chamber Players.

A dynamic and versatile artist, violist Sheila Browne has played in many of the world's major halls as soloist, chamber musician and as principal of several orchestras. She has soloed with the Juilliard Orchestra, Kiev Philharmonic, New World Symphony, South African International Viola Congress Festival Orchestra, and chamber orchestras such as the Viva Vivaldi!, Mainz, Freiburg, German-French, and Reina Sofia orchestra of Madrid.

An American with Irish citizenship, she has performed extensively at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and at the Kennedy Center, Schauspielhaus Berlin, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, London's Royal Festival Hall, Buenos Aires' Teatro Colon as well as in the major halls of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, Paris, Mexico, Australia, China and Hong Kong.

The only viola solo finalist at Carnegie Hall in the 2004 Pro Musicis International Solo Awards, she also has been a member of the internationally prizewinning Arianna and Gotham String Quartets. Browne has collaborated with artists such as James Buswell, Nicholas Chumachenko, Miriam Fried, Paul Katz, Gilbert Kalish, David Krakauer, Ruth Laredo, Joseph Robinson, Richard Stolzman, and members of the Guarneri and Vermeer Quartets, and has recorded for Nonesuch with Audra MacDonald, recording with other famous singers such as Natalie Cole and Lisa Loeb.

A proponent of new music, she has premiered and recorded many contemporary composers' works, including Arthur Gottschalk's Politically Correct (written for soprano and the Gotham Quartet) and Anthony Iannaccone's Clarinet Quintet (for the Arianna Quartet, which also recently released a CD of the Brahms and Mozart Clarinet Quintets on the Urtext label).

Browne was an artist/teacher-in-residence at the University of Missouri-St. Louis with the Arianna Quartet and assistant professor of viola at the University of Tennessee before joining the artist/professor faculty of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and has also recently joined the faculty of New York University.
