“This trio plays with passion, sweep, and energy.” – Ann Arbor News. “[The] group is remarkable…” – Strings magazine. The Amelia Piano Trio enjoys an active performing schedule that has taken them throughout North America and to Europe, the French West Indies and Panama. Making their mark by commissioning new works, such as Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Harbison’s new piano trio, as well as by performing vivid interpretations of traditional chamber fare, the Amelia Piano Trio have quickly become one of the world’s most sought-after ensembles.

The Arensky Piano Trio,
a graduate student ensemble participating in the Green Lake Festival
Chamber Music Workshop, will be performing a free, hour-long concert in
Oshkosh in July.
This up-and-coming young trio from the University of Hartford features pianist Tamila Azadaliyeva, originally from Uzbekistan, cellist Neal Humphreys of San Francisco, and violinist Katalin Viszmeg of Hungary. The Arensky Trio was together only six months when they won Third Prize in the 2nd International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition held in Boston, Massachusetts. The trio is named after virtuosic Russian pianist and composer Anton Stepanovich Arensky who had close connections to the greats of Russia's late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Sponsored by the Oshkosh Community Foundation, this Green Lake Festival concert will be held in conjunction with the First Congregational Church of Oshkosh's First Tuesdays noon concert series, July 3, at 137 Algoma Blvd.
The First Congregational Church – replete with Tiffany glass windows – was designed by architect William Waters in 1911. Their 1906 Steinway Concert Grand Piano sounds lovely in the sanctuary, which was acoustically restored 4 years ago.
Call the Festival office, 800-662-7097, for more information.
