At its best, chamber music is a conversation between friends, and nowhere is that more apparent than within the piano trio genre: grand canvases painted with intimate expression. Clara Schumann’s under-appreciated gem embodies the drama of the Romantic era with transparency and grace, Joan Tower contemplates the expansive beauty of the Andes, and Schubert, at the end of his life, stretches to the horizon with a monument of the repertoire.
"One of the joys of hearing the Chameleon Arts Ensemble comes from Deborah Boldin’s whimsical thematic programming, mixing old and new, letting pieces echo and shed light on each other."
