Lincoln Trio, piano trio

We invite you to attend the rescheduled 5th concert of our 25th Anniversary, 2019-20 Concert Series for The Artist Series of Tallahassee, featuring Lincoln Trio, piano trio from the comfort of your home! Watch this concert on our website, www.theartistseries.org! Nominated for a 2017 GRAMMY Award for Best Performance by a Small Ensemble, the Lincoln Trio has become Chicago’s most celebrated chamber ensemble. Praised for their “joy of sheer technical ability, unanimity of phrasing and beautiful blended tone” the trio takes its name from their home in the heartland of the USA. The Trio’s polished presentations of well-known chamber works and their ability to forge new paths with contemporary repertoire has led to the group’s reputation as a first rate ensemble, drawing an eclectic audience of sophisticated music lovers, young admirers of contemporary programs, and students discovering chamber music for the first time. They were the winners of the 2008 Masterplayers International Competition in Venice, Italy. Each member is an artist of international renown. Violinist Desirée Ruhstrat has performed throughout the US and Europe, appearing at the White House and performing on a live radio broadcast heard around the world with the Berlin Radio Orchestra. Cellist David Cunliffe has performed with the BBC and Royal Scottish orchestras as well as touring as a member of the Balanescu Quartet, and pianist Marta Aznavoorian has appeared with the Chicago Symphony and has performed at the Kennedy Center and the Sydney Opera House.
