4 PM SUNDAY, NOV 3 IN THE SANCTUARY • FREE WILL OFFERING

The two-person orchestra known as Silver, Wood and Ivory will perform refreshingly original instrumental arrangements on flute, Celtic harp, and piano when they return to Derry Church next month.

Tracy Dietrich, the Silver and Wood of the duo, was born with the gift of perfect pitch. She says that playing music came as second nature to her from the time she was a child. Tracy has played other instruments, but it’s the flute that has captured the passion of her musical voice. Tracy has mastered 19 different flutes and recorders ranging from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. These intricate varieties of flutes compliment her unique style

Cindy Wittenberg, the Ivory of the pair, grew up in a musical family with a classically trained mother. She began playing the piano at the age of four and began formal training by the age of eight. Cindy also learned to play the organ and the bassoon which allows her to draw from her symphonic experiences when composing music.

Together, this two-person orchestra of classically trained artists have fashioned a tapestry of music that stirs the soul. Tracy and Cindy both have instrumental performance degrees: Tracy from Indiana University of PA, and Cindy from Elizabethtown College and Peabody Conservatory.
