Music for Youth presents the Horszowski Piano Trio, Saturday, April 5th, 2PM

Music for Youth
presents The Horszowski Piano Trio, at the next FREE Young Persons’ Concert on April
5th, Saturday, 2 PM, at Pequot Library, Southport.  No tickets needed, but adults should be accompanied by a
young person aged 5 to 18. Hailed by The New Yorker as
“destined for great things,” when the members of the Horszowski Trio
(Hor-SHOV-ski) played together for the first time they immediately felt the
spark of a unique connection. 

Two-time
Grammy-nominated violinist, Jesse Mills, first performed with Raman
Ramakrishnan, founding cellist of
the prize-winning Daedalus Quartet, at the Kinhaven Music School over
twenty years ago, when they were children. In New York City, they met pianist,
Rieko Aizawa, who, upon being discovered by the late violinist and
conductor Alexander Schneider, had made her U.S. debuts at the Kennedy Center
and Carnegie Hall. Their musical bonds were strengthened at various schools and
festivals around the world, including the Juilliard School and the Marlboro
Festival.

Ms. Aizawa was the last pupil of the legendary pianist,
Mieczysław Horszowski (1892-1993), at the Curtis Institute. The Trio takes
inspiration from Horszowski’s musicianship, integrity, and humanity. Like
Horszowski, the Trio presents repertoire spanning the traditional and the
contemporary. In addition, they seek to perform works from the trove of
composers with whom Horszowski had personal contact, such as Ravel,
Saint-Saëns, Fauré, Martinu, Villa-Lobos, and Granados.  Master classes
for intermediate to advanced students of piano, violin and cello will follow
the concert.  To sign up call 203 938 3843.
