The young virtuosos of Trio Cavatina will make their third Chamber Concert Series appearance Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
During the performance, pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute, violinist Harumi Rhodes and cellist Priscilla Lee will present bicentennial tributes to two great composers. The three women will play Haydn’s Trios in C, Hob XV: 27 and E, Hob XV: 12, in addition to Mendelssohn’s Trios in D, Op. 49 and C, Op. 66.
Formed in 2005 during the renowned Marlboro Music Festival, Trio Cavatina is rapidly emerging as one of today’s most outstanding chamber ensembles. The group, which makes its Carnegie Hall debut in 2010, was the winner of this year’s prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Competition.
In addition to its classical and romantic repertoire, Trio Cavatina is committed to collaborating with living composers. They have worked closely with American composer Leon Kirchner, for instance, who will compose his third piano trio for them.
The group, whose members recently completed the New England Conservatory’s Professional Piano Trio Training Program, will record all three of Kirchner’s trios for CD release and premiere in the 2010-2011 season.
General admission tickets cost $20, though area students may attend for $10. The show is free to members of the Union community.
