Merz Trio – The Complete Brahms Piano Trios

MILWAUKEE DEBUT

The Merz Trio are rising stars of the international chamber music scene having won the Naumburg, Fischoff, and Concert Artists Guild competitions and with upcoming debuts at Carnegie Hall, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, The Schubert Club in Minneapolis, and Washington’s Strathmore Hall.

The Merz Trio are passionately committed to reshaping the narrative of classical music through vibrantly dynamic programming and wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaboration. For their Milwaukee debut, the trio presents the only three piano trios composed by Johannes Brahms.

Meet the artists during the pre-performance talk at 7pm

To further the Wilson Center mission to deliver a lifetime of arts education and experiences, the Merz Trio will be participating in a Masterclass on Friday morning in the Elmbrook School District.
