The Manhattan Piano Trio will perform as part of the Gordon College Recital Series Monday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium.
Hailed by critics as a "grand departure from the usual" Manhattan Piano Trio is one of the most prominent, exciting and active emerging chamber music groups in America. It was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2006 Plowman Chamber Music Competition, 2007 Yellow Springs Music Competition and Runner Up at the 2006 Chesapeake International Chamber Music Competition. It was also the recipient of the 2007 Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Classic FM Listener's choice award in Melbourne.
Formed during the summer of 2004, MPT has given more than 250 performances at many prestigious venues spanning 28 states. The Trio is comprised of Milana Strezeva on piano, Dmitry Lukin on violin and Dmitry Kouzov on cello. The "Dmitrys" are from St. Petersburg Russia and met Milana, a Moldovan born American, literally on the front steps of The Juilliard School. Individually, the trio members are all award-winning soloists in their own right and have performed at many leading concert halls in the world.
General seating tickets are sold at the door and are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for non-Gordon student and $4 each for groups of 10 or more.
