In this special evening of collaborative performance, the world-renowned KLR Trio take the stage with the Miami String Quartet, who play wtih “sweeping authority, fluency, and hushed poignancy” (Miami Herald). The program is anchored by a new, CAS-commissioned piano septet from Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, the first woman to ever win the Pulitzer for music composition.
Note: due to a hand injury, Ivan Chan will be unable to perform his engagements with Miami String Quartet during November. Benny Kim will be performing in his place.
PROGRAM:
Boccherini: String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5
Ellen Taaffe Zwilich: Piano Septet (2008, CAS Commission)
Dvořák: Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81
"Everything one wants in a quartet: a rich, precisely balanced sound, a broad coloristic palette, real unity of interpretive purpose and seemingly unflagging energy."
— New York Times
"The KLR Trio's performances stand with the finest chamber groups of our time."
— Miami Herald
