Gabriela Lena Frank's "Four Folksongs for piano trio" is featured at NewMusicWorks' "Three's Company" concert this Saturday night. Frank's piano trio expands the range of the folk music idiom in unsuspecting ways, and with great passion and virtuosity. Violinist Shannon D'Antonio, cellist Kristin Garbeff and pianist Jesse McMilin rehearse the finishing touches.

"Three's Company" offers virtuosic treatments of 5 unlike musical trios that you surely don't know about. From meditative a capella songs of Medieval consonances, to exciting flights of impassioned improvisations for saxophone, bass and drums. From Bongos in threes, to a menage de trios for singing parrot (recorded) with violin & glockenspiel.
And that's just half of it!

Gabriela Lena Franks' enthralling "Four Folksongs for Piano Trio" expands upon conventional approaches to folksong adaptations.
That virtuosities abound is not unusual, but the composer's inventive interpretations of the folksong enompasses amazing variations.

Violinist Shannon D'Antonio, cellist Kristin Garbeff and pianist Jesse McMilin engage this score with passion and stunning virtuosity.

This is a concert of satisfying diversity and amazing virtuosities.
