Picasso Ensemble Performs at the Sesnon House

Picasso Ensemble - Sue Brown, violin, Victoria Ehrlich, cello, and Josephine Gandolfi, piano return to the beautiful Sesnon House Ballroom on November 17, 2019 at 3 pm. An ideal and intimate setting for chamber music, the Sesnon House has been home to the ensemble for 22 seasons of music making! The program opens with a festive, tuneful operatically-inspired trio by Donizetti. Of Swiss heritage, born and educated in Moscow, Paul Juon composed Trio Miniatures in the romantic style of 19th century Russia. Three compositions by Spanish composer Albéniz, Argentinian composer Ginastera, and Californian D'Arcy Reynolds represent the tango tradition. A new composition, entitled "Two Legged Waltz" by New York composer, John Robinson, will receive its premiere performance. This marks Robinson's 7th trio in cross-over style composed for Picasso Ensemble. Beethoven masterwork, “Trio in
B-flat,” Opus 11 concludes the program.
