Free admission; donations gratefully accepted.
The Washington Heights-based Luminae Trio is excited to present a diverse selection of works that draw from a wide range of musical styles and influences. Featuring Beethoven and Jennifer Higdon, two composers from distinct backgrounds, the program shares moments of both great excitement and deep intimacy.

The Luminae Trio is composed of two WHCO members, Jacob Nordlinger (cello) and Elizabeth Wright (violin), alongside fellow uptowner Jestin Pieper (piano). It is the group’s unified vision not only to share chamber music as a means of communication and expression, but also to illuminate the works of lesser-known and underrepresented composers and make this music known.

Lauded by The New York Times for her “clear, appealing voice and expressive conviction,” soprano Clara Rottsolk joins New York’s finest Baroque ensemble, House of Time, for an evening of cantatas and trios by the incomparable George Friderick Handel and his Italian contemporaries Caldara and Porpora. During his time in Italy, Handel went from a promising young musician to Europe’s greatest composer, while leaving an indelible mark on Italian music.
