The Cleveland Chamber Music Society kicks off its season this week with a big dose of Franz Schubert: his piano/violin/cello trios #1 in B-flat major and #2 in E-flat major written in 1827 and 1828.
The musicians taking the stage at the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Kulas Hall will be pianist Wu Han, violinist Philip Setzer and cellist David Finckel, three musicians who have worked extensively together.
Taiwanese/American musician Wu Han is co-artistic director of Chamber Music at Lincoln Center, among the many hats she wears, andhe co-founded the chamber music festival Music@Menlo in 2003, both with Finckel, who is her husband. Finckle performed with the Emerson Quartet for 34 years, and is a professor at Juilliard as well as a visiting professor at SUNY Stony Brook.
Setzer is the son of two former Cleveland Orchestra violinists; in addition to an extensive performance and master class schedule he is a Distinguished Professor at SUNY Stony Brook and visiting faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
The pre-concert lecture with Roger Klein starts at 6:30pm. Go here for tickets.
