2022 - 2023 CONCERT SEASON
The
Amerigo Trio
Glenn Dicterow, violin; Karen Dreyfus, viola; Inbal Segev, cello
4:00 - 5:30pm
The Amerigo Trio was formed in
2009 by the former New York Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow, with
the violist Karen Dreyfus and the cellist Inbal Segev. Named for the Italian
explorer Amerigo Vespucci, they are committed to the exploration of the
riches of the string trio repertoire, both old and new.
At this concert, The Music Conservatory of Westchester (MCW) will present
one of its best student chamber music groups. A White Plains music
school for ninety-four years, cofounded by Pablo Casals, the MCW has a
robust chamber music program for both children and adults. The faculty
includes renowned chamber musicians, such as Ani Kavafian. On March 19, the
MCW ensemble will include two violinists, Elizabeth Kim and Tiana Kaga, and
the cellist Leon Wang, all local high school students. They will be
accompanied on harpsichord by Jean Newton, their coach and executive
director of MCW.

The Horszowski Trio, which made its debut in New York City in 2011, is the ensemble-in-residence at the Longy School of Music of Bard College, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and of the Leschetizky Association, in New York City. The Trio takes its inspiration from the musicianship, integrity, and humanity of the preeminent pianist Mieczysław Horszowski (1892–1993), whose last pupil at the Curtis Institute was this ensemble’s pianist, Rieko Aizawa. Since their debut performance in New York City in 2011, The Horszowski Trio has become a vital force in the international chamber music world.
