The Florestan Piano Trio will perform a classical program from Haydn, Brahms and Ives Saturday, March 15 at 8 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
Winners of the Royal Philharmonic Society Award in 2000, this British group features Susan Tomes on piano, Anthony Marwood on violin and Richard Lester on cello. Their program will include Franz Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trio in D Major, Hob. XV: 24; Johannes Brahms’ Piano Trio in B Major, Op. 8; and Charles Ives’ Piano Trio (1911).
