About

We are a sometimes duo, sometimes trio or larger chamber group performing works by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Ravel, Debussy, and also of course some of the "minor prophets" (lesser known heroes) of classical music. We also love sharing the history and real-life stories behind each work that connect our listeners to the past and bring the lives of composers right here to the present. Sit back and enjoy with us a fun, relaxed evening of vibrant music, compelling histories, and a shared love of classical music.
