Renowned Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio brings Beethoven tribute to OU

 
The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio will give an all-Beethoven performance at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8 in Varner Recital Hall on OU's campus.

As part of the Chamber Music Society of Detroit at Oakland University Series, the venerated Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio will give an all-Beethoven performance at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8 in Varner Recital Hall on OU’s Campus.

 

The program will include the following Beethoven works: Piano Trio No. 4 in B flat major, Op. 11, “Gassenhauer;” Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 1, No. 3; Allegretto in B-flat major for Piano Trio, WoO 39; and Piano Trio No. 5 in D major, Op. 70, No. 1, “Ghost.”

 

The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio has been the Chamber Ensemble in Residence at the Kennedy Center in Wash. D.C. since the 2003-04 season. Pianist Joseph Kalichstein, violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson have been setting the standard for performance of piano trio literature for 38 years. They continue to make annual appearances at many of the world’s major concert halls, commission major new works and maintain an active recording agenda, all while balancing careers as internationally acclaimed soloists. Their many award-winning recordings include a beloved two-volume set of the complete Beethoven Trios.

 

On Friday, Feb. 6 and Saturday, Feb. 7 the Trio will perform two additional concerts at other venues. The three concerts together form the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Beethoven Festival, featuring the composer’s complete works for piano trio.
