Noted for their “polish, vigor, and an exemplary sense of style” (The Washington Post), these three great French soloists have been connected by their love of chamber music since they were students at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. Prize-winners individually, each graduated with top honors from the Conservatory—where they are now professors—and rapidly established major solo and chamber music careers. As a trio they express simultaneously their musical individuality as well as their total musical rapport, earning them the name of “Les Musiciens” in Europe. The Paris Piano Trio’s first major tour of the United States, in January 1998, won superlatives from critics and audiences across the nation, and the Trio has since performed in major cities from Washington to Los Angeles and in Latin America, Europe, and Canada. Recordings include Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich on the Lyrinx label, the trios of Schubert and Brahms, and the chamber music of Chausson on the Harmonia Mundi label.

This concert is jointly sponsored by the Williamsburg Regional Library’s Dewey Decibel Series and the Reves Center for International Studies.
