The Festival is thrilled to invite audiences for a night celebrating the upcoming release of a brand new album by The Lee Trio, Midsummer Night Magic. With fantasies, legends and visions threading the evening’s works, the Trio will perform works by Uljas Pulkkis and Robert Schumann from its new album alongside Dvorak’s Dumky Trio, and Schumann songs and music by Thomas Ades performed by violinist Max Tan, baritone Daniel Gutmann, and pianist Maximillian Kromer.
Prior to the concert, join us for a 6:00pm talk by Dr. Carlos Diaz Salazar of Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute. Dr. Carlos Diaz-Salazar is a Neuroscientist at Columbia University. In this pre-concert talk, we’ll explore together the ideas of brain development, plasticity, and repair. Using his favorite brain cell (microglia) as a guide, we’ll learn about the brain’s capacity for healing and the role music plays in it. Finally, we’ll look into how brain health has shaped the course of music throughout history.
"The Lee Trio brought courage to the melody, flair for the virtuosity, depth [to the] works....This evening stood out as one of the most memorable of the Festival." - Leipziger Volkszeitung
