Join us for an exciting musical adventure exploring the various combinations of these four instruments in various trio formations. Yuseon Nam, violin, Alex Hayashi, oboe, Marie Lickwar, horn, and Jasmine Nagano, piano, perform music from the Romantic period into the 20th century. The lush romanticism of Brahms leads to the polytonality and quartal and quintal harmonies of Milhaud and on to the mature but lighthearted composition by Reinecke.
