Trio Latitude 41, a happy meeting of European and American musicians, makes a rare Bay Area appearance with Gold Coast Chamber Players. Strad Magazine writes about the trio: “A high level of playing from an international trio…Juilliard School graduate, violinist, Livia Sohn performs with great sensitivity and is well-matched by cello playing by Luigi Piovano…Pianist Bernadene Blaha demonstrates fluid musicianship throughout...”Brahms Latitude is an immersion into the great romantic style of Johannes Brahms. Piano Trio No. 2, op 87 in C major begins the program. Violist Pamela Freund-Striplen joins the trio for Piano Quartet No. 1, op. 25 in g minor highlighting Brahms’ love of gypsy music.
“Trio Latitude 41’s performance is like overhearing an intimate conversation in someone’s great living room.”
