Few ensembles in history have had the sustained artistry and success that the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio had for 45 years. Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson are joined on this program by violist and composer Nokuthula Ngwenyama and pianist Anna Polonsky and will give the Arizona premiere of Elegy, an AFCM co-commission with several other presenters around the U.S. This concert will honor pianist Joseph Kalichstein, who passed away in March of 2022.
