A?spectacular trio?which thrills audiences with their passion, enthusiasm and ability to make the written music come alive, Trio Voce?will celebrate the release of their most recent recordings at the Music at Convocation Hall?Series performance December 4 at 8pm in Convocation Hall.
Released on Con Brio Recordings, the recordings are of the Shostakovich and Mieczyslaw Weinberg Trios.
"Weinberg?s music, though well known in Russia and performed over the years by many eminent Russian artists, is only now beginning to be heard more frequently in the West," explained pianist Patricia Tao.?"This moving and masterful work by Shostakovich?s friend and colleague is not be missed!"
The three individuals of Trio Voce communicate as one voice (?voce? in Italian), whether they are performing the repertoire of Haydn or that of? the present day. ?
All three members -?Jasmine Lin (violin), Marina Hoover (cello)?and Patricia Tao (piano) -?are established musicians, who have studied with some of the great masters at schools such as?Curtis, Yale and Harvard. Each has demonstrated a depth of experience as collaborators and as performers on international stages throughout the world, and have championed recent music through commissions, premieres and recordings of works by living composers. Their collaboration in this Trio has resulted in a new and outstanding synergy.
Don't miss this amazing opportunity to see them live! The evening's program will include the early Shostakovich op. 8 Trio, Weinberg?s Trio, op. 24 and Beethoven?s Trio, op. 70, no. 1 ?Ghost.?
