THE WILL PERFORM AT UCSD ON APRIL 21

The legendary Beaux Arts Trio will perform at the University of California, San Diego at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 21, in the Mandeville Auditorium.

The program will be: Haydn: Trio in E Flat Major; Ravel: Trio in A minor and Schubert: Trio in B Flat Major, Op. 99.

The trio made its debut in 1955 at the Berkshire Music Festival at Tanglewood, now known as the Tanglewood Festival. Since then, pianist , violinist Isadore Cohen and cellist Bernard Greenhouse established themselves as one of the most successful musical collaborations of our time.

In more than three decades of travel throughout North America, , , South America, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, the Beaux Arts Trio has won the greatest praise from audiences and critics. At a 30th anniversary celebration at Indiana University in September 1985, President Ronald Reagan commended the trio's artistry, awarding each member with a special silver medal.

In 1986, the trio experienced a change in personnel, when cellist Bernard Greenhouse retired from the ensemble to expand his teaching career. His position was filled in 1987 by cellist Peter Wiley.

The extensive discography of the Beaux Arts Trio on Philips Records encompasses the entire literature. The ensemble has elevated the status of previously neglected piano trio literature to the level of that for string quartet. It has brought the trio many coveted awards, including the Prix Monidal du Disque, three Grand Prix du Disques, the Gramophone "Record of the Year" and Stereo Review "Record of the Year."

Tickets for the Beaux Arts Trio are $18 for general admission, $9 for students and may be purchased from the UCSD Box Office and from TicketMaster outlets.
