Faculty members Jeffrey Howard (violin), Cecylia Barczyk (cello), and Yoon-Wha Roh (piano) will perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, March 6 for a 7:30 pm concert in the Weill Recital Hall. Featured on this program will be the Piano Trio by Claude Debussy. Composed when Debussy was only 18 years old, this four movement work combines the romanticism of Debussy’s youth with an ever growing Impressionist harmony. Dr. Howard will also perform with pianist Anna Soukiassian in two solo works; Tsirani Tsar, or Apricot Tree, by the famed Armenian composer and religious leader Komitas, and the hauntingly beautiful Nigun  from the Baal Shem Suite by Ernest Bloch. This combined chamber music concert will also feature music by Schubert, Brahms and Tchaikovsky, and is organized by Leo Management in New York. Tickets can be purchased through Carnegie Hall at www.carnegiehall.org/Events under Leo Artists Showcase.
