These hour-long programs of masterworks of chamber music include a new addition to the horn trio repertoire by the acclaimed composer Mason Bates. These works are performed by an exceptional ensemble of internationally renowned musicians – pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, violinist Jennifer Frautschi, cellist Edward Arron, and French horn player Eric Ruske. Mason Bates music has been performed by The National Symphony Orchestra (both at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall), San Francisco Symphony, and the Atlanta and Phoenix Symphonies.
“At a time when symphony orchestras nationwide are trolling for audience magnets – the type of new material that can lure members of generations X and Y along with older subscribers – Bates just might have that bait.” – The Los Angeles Times
