The
acclaimed chamber ensemble, The Damocles Trio, will appear at the White Plains
Public Library on Sunday, April 25th at 2:30 pm in a special concert in memory
of Clarice Wilson, music specialist at the Library from 1974 to 1999. The free
concert, which is presented by the White Plains Library Foundation, features
works by Beethoven, Brahms and Paul Juon. A reception will follow the
performance.
The Damocles Trio consists of Adam Kent, piano; Sibylle Johner, cello; and Airi Yoshioka, violin. The three musicians met in the doctoral program at The Juilliard School, where they were awarded a Maxwell and Muriel Gluck Fellowship for the 1998/99 academic year and coached with Felix Galimir, Jerome Lowenthal, and Stephen Clapp. The only piano trio to advance to the finals of the 2002 International Concert Artists Guild Competition, they have been featured frequently on Robert Sherman's "Young Artists Showcase" on WQXR radio.
The Damocles Trio has performed throughout the US, appearing numerous times at Alice Tully Hall in New York City, and has completed highly successful tours of Switzerland in 1999, 2001, and 2003. Commenting on a performance in Interlaken, the Oberländisches Tagblatt wrote, "The members of this international trio were perfectly attuned to each other and interpreted the magnificent work with great expressiveness," and a critic from the Zürichsee Zeitung enthused, "The three artists did justice to the great work of Beethoven with perfect harmony, courtly elegance..., subtle coloration, and great virtuosity."
