Trio Ariadne to Debut
Weill Hall Introduces Artists in Residence
The Trio Ariadne will give their debut performance as Artists in Residence at Sonoma State University’s Weill Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 11, 2013, in a free concert of music by Beethoven, Muczynski and Brahms. Members of the trio are Carol McGonnell, clarinet; Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir, cello; and Elizabeth Joy Roe, piano. They will play three chamber works for clarinet, cello and piano - a less-common ensemble than the standard piano trio instrumentation of violin, cello and piano.
"We wanted to bring some classics - Beethoven and Brahms - then add something that people might not have heard of with the Muczynski. That kind of programming is what our collective esthetic is about," said Roe. The neo-romantic Fantasy Trio by American composer Robert Muczynski (1929-2010) was composed in 1969.
"We wanted to bring some classics - Beethoven and Brahms - then add something that people might not have heard of with the Muczynski. That kind of programming is what our collective esthetic is about," said Roe.
The concert, including parking, is free.
Trio Ariadne returns to Weill on April 4, 2014, at 7:30 p.m., to play trios by Beethoven (opus 38) and Zemlinsky.
Weill Hall at the Green Music Center is located near the intersection of Rohnert Park Expressway and Petaluma Hill Road. Enter campus from Rohnert Park Expressway and park in Lot O.
