Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio to Perform at Oakland University, 2/8

Music lovers will be delighted to hear that the venerated Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio will give an all-Beethoven performance in Varner Recital Hall, on the campus of Oakland University on Sunday, February 8 at 3 p.m. This event is the third concert of the Chamber Music Society of Detroit at OU Series.

Everyone is welcome but Elizabeth Rowin, coordinator of OU's chamber music program and violin faculty member, said, "This is an especially amazing opportunity for our students to hear musicians of this caliber."

The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio has been the Chamber Ensemble in Residence at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. since the 2003-04 season. Pianist Joseph Kalichstein, violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson have been setting the standard for performance of the piano trio literature for 38 years. They continue to make annual appearances at many of the world's major concert halls, commission major new works, and maintain an active recording agenda, all while balancing careers as internationally acclaimed soloists.

Their many award-winning recordings include a beloved two-volume set of the complete Beethoven Trios (2007). The program for the Varner Hall will include the following Beethoven works: Piano Trio No. 4 in B flat major, Op. 11, "Gassenhauer;" Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 1, No. 3; Allegretto in B-flat major for Piano Trio, WoO 39; and Piano Trio No. 5 in D major, Op. 70, No. 1, "Ghost."

On Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7 the Trio will give two additional concerts at other venues. The three concerts together form the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Beethoven Festival, featuring the composer's complete works for piano trio.
