GREENVILLE, Pa.—GRAMMY® Award-nominated Hermitage Piano Trio will perform at Thiel College’s David Johnson Memorial Chapel at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 as part of the College’s Con Spirito Chamber Music Concert Series.
The concert is free and open to the public. The Washington Post lauded a Trio performance for “such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.”
The Trio’s repertoire ranges from the works of the great European tradition to more contemporary American pieces. Hallmarks of the Hermitage Piano Trio are their impeccable musicianship, sumptuous sound and interpretative range, which have led to demand for many repeat performances. They have appeared on major chamber music series and festivals in Los Angeles; New York; Boston; Philadelphia; Miami; Washington, D.C.; Tucson; Portland (Ore.); Tulsa; San Diego; Corpus Christi; Newport (R.I.); San Miguel de Allende (Mexico); Winnipeg (Canada); New Orleans; and many others. In addition to their extensive touring engagements, the Trio is involved in educational and outreach projects.
In 2007, the tradition of musical excellence started when LaVonne H’16 and the late Glen R. Johnson H’88, in honor of their late daughter, created the series to bring top musical talent to Thiel College and the region. Con Spirito is just one of the offerings at Thiel that connects the college to the regional arts community.
The Con Spirito Concert Series is always free and open to the public and is in its 17th year of bringing world-class music to Greenville and Thiel College. Each fall the College hosts two Con Spirito events.
