One of the world's leading piano trios, Britain's Florestan Piano Trio comes to Memorial Chapel Sunday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. The group, with Susan Tomes on piano, Anthony Marwood on violin and Richard Lester on cello, will perform Mozart's K. 496 in G; Saint-Saens' No.2 in e, Op. 92; and Schubert's D. 898 in B flat (Op. 99).
Florestan's recordings on the Hyperion label have received outstanding reviews, with all their discs nominated for Gramophone Awards. In 2000, the group received Britain's Royal Philharmonic Society Award for chamber music, the first time the prize was given to a piano trio.
This is Florestan's third appearance as part of the College's acclaimed Chamber Concert Series. Concert tickets are free for the Union community, $25 for the general public and $12 for area students. They may be picked up at Facilities. For more information, call 388-6080 or 372-3651; or visit www.union.edu/concertseries.
