“The string trio—violin, viola, and cello—was the Marlon Brando of the Classical era: it coulda been a contender,” says The New Yorker. “But Joseph Haydn’s invention of the string quartet proved to be an irresistible force.”

Nonetheless, performances of the string trio genre persist and this ensemble from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center takes full advantage. Consisting of violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky, pianist WuQian and joined this season by the German-Korean cellist Isang Enders, they are prize winners and perform around the globe to glowing reviews. They released their first recording for BIS Records in 2014 to much critical acclaim and their third disc with Beethoven’s Trios came out in 2018.

We look forward to hosting their performance and will provide details on the repertoire when it becomes available.
