Ohio State and the School of Music will welcome the Blakemore Trio for their free upcoming performance on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. in Weigel Hall Auditorium, 1866 College Rd. This will be the trio's first Columbus appearance and they will be featuring works by Beethoven and Schumann.
Violinist Carolyn Huebl, cellist Felix Wang and pianist Amy Dorfman established the Blakemore Trio in 2002. Critically acclaimed for their performances as individuals, they have established a captivating ensemble performing the master works of the past and contemporary works of today.
Critics have hailed the Blakemore Trio for their "riveting intensity," and "all-but-perfect sense of ensemble, expressive phrasing and great intonation." Since forming at Vanderbilt University in 2002, the Blakemore Trio has developed a national reputation, making their New York debut at Merkin Hall in 2010 and releasing critically acclaimed 2013 recordings on the Blue Griffin and Albany labels.
The trio's repertoire spans the spectrum of the literature, from Beethoven, Brahms and Ravel to Rochberg, Schnittke and Tower. Their affinity for contemporary music has led the trio to commission new works as part of their mission. Recent performances have featured world premieres of trios written for them by award-winning composers Susan Botti, Shueh-Shuan Liu (in collaboration with the Chinese Dance Theater of Nashville), Paul Osterfield and Adam Schoenberg. The trio was also awarded an ENCORE grant from the America Composers Forum, in support of performances of music by Chilean composer/pianist Alfonso Montecino. Deeply committed to education, each is an associate professor at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University.
