Sound, Silence, and Hope

Saturday, April 1st, 7 PM
While still practicing the art of sound, silence began to envelope composers Beethoven and Fauré. As each artist developed more and more hearing loss, neither gave up writing music. Discover the piano trios these composers wrote despite never being able to hear them on acoustic instruments and explore the sense of unbridled hope they both contain.
Featuring: Erin Durham, violin; Henry Stubbs, cello; and Amanda Halstead, piano

Round out our Levine Presents season by watching genres combine and hearing the amazing result.
