Hailed by critics worldwide, the New York Times observed that the Trio “... played jazz that was rhythmically alive, stylistically varied and consistently inventive as anything this listener has heard recently. JazzTimes raved: “No individual or ensemble has done more to demystify chamber jazz, and to realize its potential for warmth, sensuousness, and beauty...than the String Trio of New York.” The Philadelphia Inquirer said that the S3NY “...is solidly prepared, but offers the excitement of improvisation projected through unshakable musicianship.”
Registration is required for both concerts online at www.albertwisnerlibrary.org or call the Help Desk at 845-986-1047, ext. 3.
