Calderwood Hall
The splendid Claremont Trio returns to Calderwood Hall, joined by Rosemary Nelis, viola, and Bradley Aikman, bass, to play the piano quintet of 19th-century French composer Louise Farrenc in its first Calderwood performance. The trio also will take on Ravel’s luscious piano trio, and Shulamit Ran’s yearning movement, that grew out of her work on an operatic adaption of The Dybbuk by S. An-sky.
