Marja Kaisla and her Trio Excelsior!
with: pianist Marja Kaisla, violinist Yevgeniy Dyo, and cellist Elina Snellman-Lang
Saturday, Jan. 25 | 5 pm
$28 ($18 members)
Pianist Marja Kaisla will perform two exciting works with her Trio Excelsior! - the expansively virtuosic and romantic Trio by Anton Arensky, teacher of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and the Four Seasons by the Argentinian crossover composer Astor Piazzolla, a scintillating mix of tango, jazz and classical music.
Born in Helsinki, Finland, Kaisla is an avid chamber musician, recitalist and orchestra soloist who has performed extensively in Europe and the United States, having had her Carnegie Hall debut in 2005.
Led by Marja Kaisla and joined by Elina Lang and Yevgeniy Dyo, Trio Excelsior! was born from a deep admiration for each other’s musicianship and a strong bond of friendship. Besides experiencing the pure joy of performing together, the trio delves into the rich and intimate piano trio repertoire to deepen their connection to music and one another. They share this experience with audiences of all ages, exploring the great composers as human beings and how their works express the essence of human existence. Their name Excelsior! could not be more fitting to what their goals as musicians are, 'still higher!'.
