The acclaimed chamber music ensemble Trio Solisti will be performing on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 8 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at the Adelphi University Concert Hall at One South Avenue in Garden City.
Their performance will feature Rachmaninoff’s “Trio No. 1 in G Minor,” Turina’s “Trio No. 2 in B Minor,” Liebermann’s “Trio No. 3” and Trio Solisti’s arrangement of the Mussorgsky masterpiece “Pictures at an Exhibition.”
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. This spring the group is doing a new recording of Russian trios by Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, including Rachmaninoff’s beautiful Trio No. 1 in G Minor.
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. 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 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.
