Interlude Concert
The Lions Gate Trio
The world-renowned Lions Gate Trio will perform at Chesapeake Chamber Music's Fall Interlude Concert on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 8 p.m. at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD. This will be the first Eastern Shore appearance by the Trio, composed of Katie Lansdale, violin; Florence Millet, piano, and its recently-announced new member, Marcy Rosen, cello. Rosen's addition to the Trio is cheered as a bonus by her many fans on the Eastern Shore who, over the years, have become captivated by her musical virtuosity and her leadership as Artistic Co-Director of Chesapeake Chamber Music.
The Lions Gate Trio has thrilled American and European audiences since its founding at the Tanglewood Festival in 1988. The Trio brands standard repertory, complex modern repertory and lesser-known quality masterworks with its talent and passion. "Intrepid" is how one critic summed up the Trio's ability to pursue tradition and frontier side-by-side and "communicate joy in music-making not only in technical brilliance but in an unbelievable playful lightness ."
The Trio members auspiciously pursue separate careers as soloists and teachers; as a group, the Lions Gate Trio explores not only the piano trio repertory, but duo, solo and expanded ensemble repertory. They have performed at concert halls and festivals through Europe and the United States, and are known to tens of thousands through their radio and television performances and recordings.
Twice awarded residencies at Tanglewood, the Lions Gate Trio has also been awarded residencies at Yale and the University of Hartford. Since 1997, the Trio has been designated the trio-in-residence at the University of Hartford.
