Audiences around the world respond with standing ovations to what critics call the raw driven energy and high spirits of the Eroica Trio: Erika Nickrenz (piano), Adela Pena (violin), and Sara Sant'Ambrogio (cello). The Eroica Trio is on the vanguard of a new generation of artists who are changing the face of classical music. One of the first all-female chamber ensembles to reach the top echelons of their field, the Eroica Trio is helping to break an age-old gender barrier. Whether they are playing the great standards of the piano trio repertoire or daring contemporary works, the three young women who make up this world-class chamber ensemble fill the concert stage with their combination of technical virtuosity, vivid artistic interpretation, and contagious exuberance in performance. The Trio won the prestigious 1991 Naumburg Award, resulting in an acclaimed Lincoln Center Debut and has since toured the United States, Europe, and Asia. The Trio continues to perform recitals throughout the world and their five celebrated recordings for Angel/EMI Classics Records have garnered multiple Grammy nominations. Highlights of the 2003-2004 season include tours of the United States with the Prague Chamber Orchestra and Cincinnati Symphony, performing the Beethoven "Triple Concerto;" the release of the Trio's sixth recording of the "Triple Concerto" with the Prague Chamber Orchestra; and the world premiere of a new work composed for the trio by Mark O'Connor. The Eroica Trio performs the Beethoven "Triple Concerto" more frequently than any other trio in the world, having appeared with the symphonies of Chicago, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, Utah, Mostly Mozart Orchestra, Cincinnati, Houston and Seattle, among others. The Trio has also performed the work on tour abroad with Orquesta Sinfonica de Euskadi in Spain, Haydn Orchestra in Italy, and Budapest Symphony in Germany. In March, 2003, the Trio appeared on the German television program "Klassich!" performing the "Triple Concerto" with the Munich Symphony. The program will air in Austria, Germany and Switzerland in the fall. Each summer, the Trio performs at music festivals throughout the world, including the Hollywood Bowl, Aspen, Mostly Mozart, Ravinia, and Spoleto, Italy. In addition to demanding concert and recording schedules, the Eroica Trio is committed to music education, giving concerts, master-classes and shows specifically geared toward children at elementary schools and colleges throughout the country. The Eroica Trio has appeared on numerous television programs including ABC’s "The View," CNN’s "Showbiz Today" and "Worldbeat," CBS and ABC News, "CBS Saturday Morning," A&E's "Breakfast with the Arts," The Oxygen Network, Bloomberg TV, and Fox’s "The Crier Report." They have been featured in publications such as Elle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Detour, Marie Claire, Bon Appétit, and Time Out New York. Grand Marnier distillers created a new cocktail dubbed "The Eroica," unveiled for the release of their "Pasion" recording. Chateau Ste Michelle, a vineyard in Seattle, also named one of their vintage reislings in honor of the Trio. Tickets for the performance are $28 & $34, with student discounts available, and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Ticket Office, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. To order by phone, call 805/756-2787; to order by fax: 805/756-6088. Order on-line at www.pacslo.org. Sponsored by KCBX 90.1 FM.

"Choosing a quartet name is difficult - it needs to indicate something about the group’s personality or history, be memorable, and most importantly be agreeable to all four members! For our first few years we called ourselves the Harid Quartet, after the music conservatory in Boca Raton where we played together after moving to the US from China. When we went to New York City to continue our education, we studied with the Orion Quartet. We chose our name to also come from a constellation in honor of all we learned, as the Vega star is the brightest in the Lyra constellation." The Vega String Quartet, Quartet-in-Residence at Emory University, is cultivating a new generation of chamber music lovers through dynamic performances and innovative community engagement.

  • A 43-Year Sunriver Tradition Thrives: the Sunriver Music Festival
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Meagan Iverson 541-593-1084, [email protected] A 43-YEAR SUNRIVER TRADITION THRIVES: THE SUNRIVER MUSIC FESTIVAL SUNRIVER, ORE – While we are all staying home during the COVID-19 crisis, it is reassuring to know that a festival that has been around since the 70s is still hoping and planning to share its 43rd summer season in August. Now, it was an audacious idea when Sunriver residents Paul and Polly Kahle told friends in 1977 they wanted to start a cLassicaL music festivaL in a summer resort using professional musicians from around America that would perform in a vintage 1940s Officers’ Club. Four decades Later, the FestivaL not only survives, it thrives, with the launch of its 43rd Season, August 9-22, celebrating the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven. A fuLL slate of classicaL concerts, pops concert, solo piano concert, master cLasses, music workshops, famiLy concert, open rehearsals fiLL these two weeks in August. Friends of the FestivaL (members) couLd reserve their favorite seats as earLy as today; generaL pubLic ticket saLes open June 1st. “What was an unproven idea has now become one of CentraL Oregon’s preeminent classical musicaL experiences,” explains operations director Meagan Iverson. “While the original festivaL onLy performed in Sunriver, we continue our new tradition of performing in Sunriver and Bend and in concerts featuring world-cLass musicians throughout the year.” Artistic Director and Conductor George Hanson returns for his 10th and finaL season to Lead the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra.

When he composes something that is merely wonderful, the carping of critics knows no bounds. Thus it is that the Piano trio in B-flat Major, Opus 11, composed in 1 798 at the very end of Beethoven's youth-when he was a rising star and had not yet realized he would be permanently deaf­ has been called "superficial" and "lightweight." The truth is that it is charming and beautifully put together, and although it lacks the extraor­ dinary originality of so many of Beethoven's other compositions, no one with any sense would be ashamed to have written such a gem.
