GCCA presents Trio Confero

Gettysburg Community Concert Association (GCCA) presents Trio Confero in the 2nd concert of its 2025–26 season at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. Confero is a Latin verb that means “to bring together, unite, and contribute.” This is precisely the mission of clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov, pianist Misuzu Tanaka, and cellist Julia Kang, who are prizewinners of many international competitions and graduates of the world’s most prestigious music academies.

The concert will be held at St. James Lutheran Church, 109 York Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325. Admission is $20 at the door, but free for GCCA members, college students with an ID, and anyone under 19 (under 13 with an adult). Limited free parking is available at St. James, with additional free parking at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church’s parking lot off High Street.

Annual membership subscriptions for the 2025–26 season are $60. Membership includes free admission to GCCA concerts in Gettysburg as well as additional shows in Waynesboro (waynesboropaconcerts.com) and Hagerstown (hagerstowncommunityconcerts.org) through reciprocal concert association agreements. Music genres at partner concerts include classical, country, bluegrass, western, pop, rock, and folk.

Who We Are

The Franklin County Free Press, established by Vicky Taylor in 2019, emerged as a beacon of local journalism for the residents of Franklin County. Under Vicky's leadership, it quickly became an essential source of news, particularly at a time when major newspaper publications were increasingly overlooking local coverage.

On January 1, 2022, the torch was passed to Nathan Neil and his firm, Neil Publishing, LLC. Neil, a local entrepreneur with multiple thriving businesses in Chambersburg, shares Vicky's fervent commitment to both the community and the world of local journalism.
