Mill Valley Chamber Music Society presents Morgenstern Trio
Acclaimed, award-winning German trio to perform in Mill Valley
WHO: Mill Valley Chamber Music Society
WHAT: The Morgenstern Trio, acclaimed German ensemble known for its spectacular and inventive musical palette, performs in concert for the next Mill Valley Chamber Music Society concert on Sunday, March 13, 2016.
Catherine Klipfel, piano; Stefan Hempel, violin and Emanuel Wehse, cello will perform a concert program including Germaine Tailleferre: Trio; Pierre Jalbert: Piano Trio No. 2 (2014); and Ravel: Trio in A.
Catherine Klipfel, Stefan Hempel and Emanuel Wehse met while studying at Folkwang Conservatory in Essen, Germany. They formed a trio in 2005 with nineteenth century poet and humorist, Christian Morgenstern, serving as inspiration for the trio's name.
It wasn't long before they achieved professional accomplishments and critical acclaim. After only two short years, the Morgenstern Trio emerged on the German music scene after receiving top prizes and awards. After receiving the prestigious Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio Award in 2010, they gained attention in America and were engaged to perform at top concert venues including the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. They also performed in other venues in New York and in cities including Chicago, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Carmel, Louisville, Lexington and Palm Beach. The Morgenstern Trio traveled to the West Coast to perform for the Mill Valley Chamber Music Society in November, 2013.
After performing at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater in 2012, Robert Battey for the Washington Post applauded the Morgenstern Trio for its polished technique and musical imagination and wrote “I don’t believe I’ve ever heard so many of the string colors and sound effects in the Ravel Trio — certainly not in a live performance. Morgenstern’s clarity of musical detail and technical excellence made this a night to remember. This was one of the best concerts I’ve heard all season."
