One of today's most esteemed chamber ensembles returns to Castleton to play the complete Beethoven Piano Trio Cycle over two concerts.
The Paris Piano Trio (known in Europe and on their many Harmonia Mundi recordings as Les Musiciens) brings together three celebrated French soloists who have shared a love of chamber music since they were students together at the Paris Conservatory.
* Note, due to the illness of Jean-Claude Pennetier, one of his most celebrated protegées, Claire Désert, has kindly agreed to fill in for him during their current US tour, necessitating the program change above.
