November 12 – Paris Piano Trio
7:30PM, Recital Hall
The Paris Piano Trio is comprised of Régis Pasquier (violin), Roland Pidoux (cello), and Jean-Claude Pennetier (piano). These three great French soloists have been connected by their love of chamber music since they were students together at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. In fact, they made their first tour together when Régis Pasquier was just 13 years old. Each graduated with top honors from the Conservatory (where they are all now professors) and rapidly established a major solo career. In all the years since, they have consistently made time to tour together on the continent, in England and in Canada. At the peak of their individual careers, they are making an increased commitment to the Trio, where they have the opportunity to express simultaneously their musical individuality and their total musical rapport.
