POSTPONED

This Concert will be Rescheduled

The Alcott Trio (Adrienne Kim, piano, Emily Popham, violin, and Robert La Rue, cello) return to close another Arion Chamber Music Season with “Homage to Musical Patrons”,  The program pairs the piano trios of Debussy and Tchaikovsky (both of whom benefited from the support of Nadezhda von Meck) and will incude the New York premiere of Canzonet (1984), by local New York composer Alison Nowak, a frequent attendee of Arion Chamber Music concerts and generous supporter of the Arion series (among others). This concluding concert of Arion 2019-20 will mark the first season in which Arion Chamber Music’s founder and principal patron, Joan Dyer,  had no role in planning.  We miss her and will make note of her contribution at this concert.
