Horszowski Trio
March 8, 2025
Horszowski Trio
Jesse Mills, violin
Ole Akahoshi, cello
Rieko Aizawa, piano
Since their debut in New York City in 2011, the Horszowski Trio have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, the Far East and India, traversing the traditional piano trio repertoire and introducing music they have commissioned and premiered. The Trio takes its inspiration from the musicianship, integrity and humanity of the pre-eminent pianist Mieczysław Horszowski (1892–1993); the ensemble’s pianist, Rieko Aizawa, was Horszowski’s last pupil at the Curtis Institute. Their debut recording — an album of works by Fauré, Saint-Saëns and d’Indy on the Bridge label — was released in 2014 and dedicated to the memory of Mieczysław Horszowski. The Horszowski Trio is Ensemble-in-Residence of the Leschetizky Association in New York City and at the Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Trio performs at many venues domestically and overseas.

Opera Theatre of Connecticut Singing Kander and Ebb
March 18, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Razzle dazzle us! For 40 years, composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb worked side by side to create a brand of Broadway musicals packed with beauty and biting commentary. Their show Chicago is one of the longest-running shows in theatre history. Their stage musicals include Cabaret and their movie scores include Martin Scorsese's New York, New York, which spawned a signature song for Frank Sinatra, and Barbara Streisand’s Funny Lady. The team also wrote prolifically for Liza Minnelli and Chita Rivera. The duo is known for collaborations with various writers, directors, and actors, and their Broadway premieres continued even after Ebb’s death at age 76 in 2004.

The Isidore String Quartet
March 22, 2025 at 7:30 pm
The ISIDORE STRING QUARTET, winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, was formed in New York City in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover and reinvigorate the repertory. The Quartet, influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet, adopts the idea of “approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.” The name “Isidore” recognizes the ensemble’s musical connection to the Juilliard Quartet: one of that group’s early members was legendary violinist Isidore Cohen.
Their 2023-2024 season featured numerous appearances across the United States and Europe. Outside the concert hall, the Isidore Quartet has worked with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US providing encouragement, education and healing to marginalized communities — including elderly, disabled, rehabilitating incarcerated and homeless populations — who otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance.
