Join us in person or on livestream! Trios by Haydn, Schumann, Schoenfield and Agócs.

These two visionary curators of music at the Gardner Museum have made this series feel like a second home for us for the past 25 (!?!) years. Scott Nickrenz and George Steele have presented our Boston debut, our Beethoven, Brahms, and Schumann trio cycles, world premieres by Gabriela Lena Frank, Sean Shepherd, Helen Grime, and Juantio Becenti, underappreciated masterpieces by Charlotte Sohy, Cecile Chaminade, Rebecca Clarke, and Louise Farrenc, and so much more! It was such a joy to see them both and to play an amazing program at the Gardner last weekend!
