“Three voices, one sound” (Detroit Free Press)

Pianist Thomas Hoppe, violinist Annette von Hehn, and cellist Stefan Heinemeyer have been hailed for their performances of the piano trio masterpieces as well as newer and lesser-known works. Formed in Berlin in 2003, the ensemble has won the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson International Trio Award, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust award, and recognition by the BBC as “New Generation Artists.”

They have appeared on stages worldwide: London’s Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Sala São Paolo, Carnegie Hall, Berlin Philharmonic, and festivals in North America and Europe. Their discography includes classical and romantic repertoire and albums celebrating French, Russian, Czech, and Viennese music.

The trio is known for playing with the “kind of pitch-perfect unanimity of phrasing, tone, feeling and interpretation that distinguishes the finest chamber ensembles” (Detroit Free Press). One reviewer noted “[T]hey were Austrians in Haydn, Czechs in Dvořák, and Russians in Shostakovich.” Their Tryon performance promises to be a highlight.

“A distinctive young talent” (International Piano Magazine)

Winner of First Prize and Best Concerto Prize at the 2020 National Chopin Piano Competition, pianist Avery Gagliano was the only American semifinalist at the 18^th International Chopin Competition in 2021. Other awards include the Audience Prize at the 2019 Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition, and the Aspen Music Festival Concerto Competition. In 2023, Ms. Gagliano was invited by Sir András Schiff to participate in his Building Bridges concert series in Europe.

She made her Carnegie Hall debut at age 20 and has since appeared in distinguished venues such as Luxembourg Philharmonie, Ehrbar Saal in Vienna, La Grange au Lac in Évian, and Miami International Piano Festival. More venues include the Verbier, Gilmore, Bravo!Vail!, Ravinia, and Aspen music festivals. Solo performances with orchestras have taken her to Louisville, Maryland, Aspen, New York, and Warsaw.

This young pianist brings emotional depth, sincerity, and exquisite voicing to her playing. Her thoughtful and intriguing spirit on the stage has made her a favorite of audiences. “Her ability to inhabit every room in the immense imagination of Frédéric Chopin came as a revelation,” wrote the New York Classical Review.

“A Potent Evening of First Class Music Making” (The Strad)

“Spanish Journey” is a musical evening in Spain, featuring five Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center artists. The distinctive Spanish style is celebrated with trios by Mañuel de Falla and Joaquín Turino, guitar music by Isaac Albéniz and Joaquín Rodrigo, and songs by Pablo de Sarasate, Joaquín Rodrigo, and Fernando Obredors.

Violinist Kristin Lee, a musician of impeccable technique and versatility, created this program especially for the Chamber Music Society. She is known as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, and artistic director. Cellist Clive Greensmith, also a chamber musician, soloist, and teacher, was a member of the Tokyo String Quartet and has performed to great acclaim around the globe.

Guitarist Jason Vieaux is among the “elite of today’s classical guitarists” (Gramophone) who has performed at international venues to great acclaim. Winner of a Grammy award, he is known as a “soulful classical guitarist” (NPR). Soyeon Kate Lee is a prize-winning pianist who plays with a “huge, richly varied sound, a lively imagination and a firm sense of style” (The New York Times). Joining the instrumentalists is Vanessa Becerra, soprano. Of Latin American heritage, she has excelled in Spanish music and appeared in numerous opera houses across America.

WindSync “plays many idioms authoritatively, elegantly, with adroit technique, and with great fun” (All About Arts)

This group of five young artists is known as “a group of virtuosos who are also wonderful people, too” (Alison Young, Classical MPR). Focused on making a strong connection with audiences, the group plays from memory, breaking the “fourth wall” between musicians and audiences.

The ensemble began touring after winning the 2012 Concert Artist Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition and the 2016 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Recent performance venues include Shalin Liu Performance Center in Massachusetts, Chamber Music Tulsa, Phoenix Chamber Music Society, The Ravinia Festival, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Flutist Garrett Hudson, Oboist Emily Tsai, clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson, bassoonist Kara LaMoure, and horn player Anni Hochhalter make up the ensemble. Each of these artists has achieved recognition and accolades as soloists. It is, however, as an ensemble that the true beauty of their artistry shines.
