Acclaimed chamber music ensemble Trio Solisti will be performing on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 8 p.m. at the Adelphi University’ Performing Arts Center, Concert Hall, One South Avenue, Garden City.
Trio Solisti, which marks its 10th year as ensemble-in-residence at Adelphi University, has forged its reputation as “the most exciting piano trio in America,” according to The New Yorker, with a performance style that combines exceptional virtuosity and penetrating musical insight. The acclaimed ensemble possesses a broad repertoire that encompasses most of the standard trio selections, as well as many new works by contemporary composers.
Founded in 2001, Trio Solisti brings together three of the most sought after artists of their generation – violinist Maria Bachmann, cellist Alexis Pia-Gerlach, and pianist Adam Neiman. Their performance on Nov. 22 will feature Schubert’s Sonatensatz in B Flat Major, D.28, Rachmaninoff’s Trio No. 2 “Elegiac,” Op. 9, and Brahms’ Trio No. 1 in B Major, Op. 8. The popular trio has earned a reputation for soulful and passionate performances marked by soloistic virtuosity, electric energy, seamless ensemble playing and thrilling abandon.
Trio Solisti will also be giving an insightful and entertaining lecture, with musical excerpts from the concert repertoire, on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 11 a.m. at the Concert Hall (free event). They will hold a free Master Class the same day/same location at 1 p.m. where the artists will work with Adelphi University music students to help bring out the best in their instrumental performances.
Trio Solisti have performed in major concert halls and cultural institutions across the country, including Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and more. Their collaborations have included performances with Yo-Yo Ma, Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Slatkin, James DePriest, Dawn Upshaw, Gilbert Kalish, The American String Quartet and the St. Lawrence String Quartet.
