 Three world-renowned artists come together to perform Brahms’s complete piano trios at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, February 22 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Pianist Emanuel Ax, violinist Leonidas Kavakos, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma present the three works chronologically, beginning with Piano Trios Nos. 2 and 3, and concluding with No. 1 While this final work was first written in 1854 when the composer was 20 years old, he revisited the score and premiered a new version in 1890. This later version, most commonly performed today, will be presented as the third piece on this program.All three artists have been praised for their interpretations of Brahms as soloists and colleagues. Mr. Ax and Mr. Ma share four Grammy Awards for their recordings of Brahms’s chamber music. With Leonidas Kavakos, they first performed all three Brahms piano trios at the Tanglewood Festival in 2015. The three acclaimed artists later recorded the trios, released by Sony Classical in 2017. About the Artists Born in modern day Lvov, Poland, Emanuel Ax moved to Winnipeg, Canada, with his family when he was a young boy. He is a winner of the Young Concert Artist Award, Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition, Michaels Award and the Avery Fisher Prize. In partnership with David Robertson, he began the current season with six Mozart concerti over two weeks in St. Louis, and will repeat the project in Sydney in February. Following the gala opening of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s season he returns to the orchestras in Cleveland, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Ottawa, Toronto, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh, and to Carnegie Hall for a recital to conclude the season. In Europe he can be heard in Stockholm, Vienna, Paris, London, and on tour with the Budapest Festival Orchestra. In support of the recent release of their disc of Brahms Trios for SONY, Mr. Ax will also tour across the U.S. with colleagues Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma during the winter.
