If you think of chamber music as old-fashioned and stuffy, think again.
Hendersonville Chamber Music brings chamber music up to date and then some! Featuring four superb performing groups, the schedule is sure to please audiences who thoroughly enjoy live performances of compelling music, consummately performed by award-winning international musicians.
March 13 – Chanté Piano Trio
Semifinalists in the prestigious 2015 Fischoff competition and winner of NC’s WDAV 89.9 Chamber Music Competition, these young people, Maria Parrini, Paul Aguilar, and Stephen Hawkey are flawless musicians. Maria Parrini, in the summer of 2012, performed with the Brevard Music Center Orchestra as the youngest winner of the Jan and Beattie Wood Concerto Competition. Their program will include: Mozart, Piano Trio in C, K. 548; Brahms, Piano Trio in C, No. 2; and Piazzolla, Oblivion.
March 20 – Ivory Piano Trio
Take an exhilarating violin and cello, add a prize winning pianist and we have the makings of an extraordinary afternoon. Soloman Eichner has performed at Steinway Hall, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Baltimore’s Salon Concert Series, “The Lives of the Piano” Chopin Marathon Concert at Manhattan School of Music in New York City and “Afternoon Concert Series” at the State Department in Washington DC.
April 10 – The Poinsett Piano Trio
After having performed together with great success for several years in other chamber combinations, David Gross, Deirdre Hutton, and Christopher Hutton founded the Poinsett Piano Trio in 2008. All three members of the trio live in Greenville, South Carolina and teach at Furman University. They perform frequently on chamber music series in the United States and made international tours as a Trio to New Zealand in 2010 and 2013, and to Germany in 2012.
April 24 – Rutherford Chamber Consort
A professional arts organization comprised of both string and wind players, the group is dedicated to bringing great chamber music to the Carolina Foothills. Regionally, players perform actively in Charlotte, Greenville, Asheville, Charleston, Spartanburg, Brevard, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and with the North Carolina Symphony.
Both series and individual tickets at $20 will be available at the door on the day of performance. Subscription holders will be able to use their four subscription tickets for any or all performances. Students are free.
