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.

The renowned American team of composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb, with over 40 years of collaboration, has perfected the art of presenting social commentary as provocative musicals. This pair created two of the most iconic musicals, Cabaret and Chicago. Both musicals transformed difficult subjects, Nazi Germany and murderers on death row, into dazzling spectacles that are as entertaining as they are ruthless. The combination of Kander’s romance musical sentimentality and Ebb’s cynical and biting lyrics transformed the American musical theater landscape.

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.
