Two talented cellists team up for a debut performance at Oakton Community College's Footlik Theater, 1600 East Golf Road, Des Plaines, at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 31.

The Linden Cello Duo consists of Oakton cello instructor Alexa Muhly and Lyric Opera cellist William Cernota.

She was the principal cellist of the Kalamazoo Symphony and has also performed at Carnegie Hall in New York. A regular substitute with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall and Ravina, Cernota has performed Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata on a nationwide live broadcast by Chicago's WFMT-FM.

Join this diverse duo as they perform works from Bach and the Ottoman Empire, as well as Klezmer classics. Tickets are $5 for general admission and $3 for students and seniors. To order yours, call (847) 635-1900.
