Horszowski Trio | Setting the Scene: the Immortal Shakespeare | Ensemble-in-Residence

Friday • February 7, 2025   |   7:00 pm 8:00 pm

Free – $20.00
Longy’s performance are free and open to the public, but please register in advance.

The Horszowski Trio presents incidental music to Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” by Korngold, and to “Midsummer Night’s Dream” by David Ludwig. The iconic “Ghost” trio of Beethoven is so named for its imaginative and suggestive resemblance to scenes from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” As we reflect on the life and times of Shakespeare, we can enjoy the inventive, joyous and expressive tones of his contemporary, William Byrd, who was as sensitive to rhythm and tone as the great playwright himself.

Horszowski Trio

In-residence at Longy since 2016, the Horszowski Trio works closely with student chamber music groups in coachings, masterclasses, and performances throughout the academic year. Jesse Mills, Rieko Aizawa, and Ole Akahoshi are also faculty artists in Longy’s violin, piano, and cello departments, respectively. Many years of close friendship had created a deep trust between the players, which in turn sparks exhilarating expressive freedom.

Giving performances that are “lithe, persuasive” (The New York Times) and “eloquent and enthralling” (The Boston Globe), the Horszowski Trio has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world since their formation in 2011. In 2019, they made their sold-out London debut presented by Wigmore Hall followed by a successful 21-concert tour of Germany. In 2023, the “Horszowski Trio Prize” was created by the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, to encourage the next generation. The trio is based in NYC and named after the legendary pianist, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, with whom their pianist studied as his last pupil at the Curtis Institute of Music.
