The Asbury Arts Series will present Hayes High School graduates Erika Eckert and Abigail Nims in a “Home from the Hills” concert of vocal and viola music on Sunday, April 17, at 3 p.m. at Asbury United Methodist Church.

They will be joined by collaborative pianist Margaret McDonald. All three are members of the music faculty of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Eckert has coached chamber music at various festivals and schools, including the Interlochen Arts Academy, the Suzuki Association of the Americas and the International School for Musical Arts.

Mezzo soprano Nims has appeared with opera companies throughout the United States and abroad, including the New York City Opera, the Wexford Festival Opera and the Atlanta Opera. She has performed as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Indianapolis Symphony and in various other venues.
