When the Tokyo String Quartet retired in 2013, two of its members — violinist Martin Beaver and cellist Clive Greensmith — found a new partner: pianist Jon Kimura Parker. The newly formed Montrose Trio quickly earned a reputation for “absolutely top-notch music-making” (The Washington Post), infusing their decades-long experience with the spark of a new collaboration. They make their Meany Center debut as a trio with a program that explores the whimsy of Haydn, the robust romanticism of Brahms and the colorful world of Shostakovich.

PROGRAM
HAYDN: Trio in E-flat Major, Hob. XV: 29
SHOSTAKOVICH: Trio in E Minor, Op. 67
BRAHMS: Trio in B Major, Op. 8 (1889 version)
