Register here for a pair of complimentary tickets to hear the Hermitage Piano Trio on Tuesday December 2, 8 p.m. at Tulane’s Dixon Hall. This special “WWNO Night” is a mutual appreciation event by WWNO and the New Orleans Friends of Music, celebrating our long-standing support for classical music in metro New Orleans.
Quantity is limited; first-come, first-served. You must register in advance in order to receive free tickets. Registrants will receive their tickets at the WWNO table in the lobby of Dixon Hall before the performance.
Descending from the great Russian musical tradition, the Hermitage Piano Trio is distinguished by its exuberant musicality, interpretative range, and sumptuous sound. The Trio excels at performing an enormous range of music and has a wide repertoire from Shostakovich, Arensky, and Tchaikovsky to Haydn, Beethoven, Dvořák, and Brahms.
“Three of Russia’s most spectacular young soloists… turned in a performance of such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.” THE WASHINGTON POST
