A powerhouse cornerstone of the trio repertoire, Dohnányi's Serenade meets a charming Dvořák gem written for the amusement of friends—then casually forgotten by the composer. Trio drama, salon sparkle, no apologies. Violinist Katie Allen, violist Paula Karolak and cellist Emileigh Brooke Vandiver play modern and classic selections for string trio.
