The husband-and-wife team of pianist Wu Han and cellist David Finckel are co-artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Music@Menlo in California’s Silicon Valley. Finckel and violinist Philip Setzer were members of the acclaimed Emerson Quartet for years.

Critics praise the Han, Setzer, Finckel performances as exhilarating, precise, and deeply expressive, making them a benchmark for piano trios. “Wu, Finckel and Setzer have played together for so long (Finckel and Setzer since they were teenagers) that their ensemble is seamless,” wrote a Washington Post reviewer.

Their all-Schubert program includes the lyrical Piano Trio No. 1 in Bb Major, Op. 99 and the dramatic Piano Trio No. 2 in Eb Major, Op.100.

Audience members are invited to a reception after the concert to mingle and meet the artists. This concert is sponsored, in part, by White and Williams LLP.

The remainder of the 73rd season brings return engagements of the Balourdet Quartet, plus established masters Quartetto di Cremona and the Horszowski Trio, in addition to emerging artists Trio Azura and the Curtis on Tour: Dohnányi Sextet musicians.
