Enescu’s youthful Piano Trio reveals the expressive depth and originality that would define his career. Zarębski’s Piano Quintet\, Op. 34\, stands as one of Romantic chamber music’s great yet underappreciated masterpieces\, written just months before his death at 31. Together\, these works offer an evening of soaring lyricism\, virtuosic brilliance\, and richly woven musical conversation for piano and strings. \nSujin Lim\, violin\nMarian Tănău\, violin\nMike Chen\, viola\nDavid LeDoux\, cello\nKazimierz Brzozowski\, piano \n\n\n\nThis concert is generously supported by Classical Salon Series Sponsor William Fulton and Virtuoso Concert Sponsor\, the University of Michigan University Musical Society\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text css=””] \nArtists\nSujin Lim\, violin\nMarian Tanau\, violin\nMike Chen\, viola\nDavid LeDoux\, cello\nKazimierz Brzozowski\, piano[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2743″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/sujin-lim/”][vc_single_image image=”1657″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/marian-tanau/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2733″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/michael-chen/”][vc_single_image image=”2734″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/david-ledoux”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2735″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/kazimierz-brzozowski/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=””] \nConcert Program\nGeorge Enescu  (1881–1955): Piano Trio in G minor\nAllegro molto vivace                                                                                  \nAllegretto grazioso\nAndante\nPresto  \nIntermission \nJuliusz Zarębski (1854–1885): Piano Quintet in G minor\, Op. 34\nAllegro                                                                                                       \nRomanze: Andante\nScherzo: Vivace\nFinale: Allegro non troppo [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
