CHAMBER SERIES: The Horszowski Trio is the first of the Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts series on Friday, June 23.

The Horszowski Trio will open Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts’ 56th Season in Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus on Friday, June 23 at 7:30 p.m. Works by Bernstein, Schubert, and a piece commissioned for their 10th anniversary are on the program.

Formed in 2011 and based in New York City, the Horszowski Trio made its London debut eight years later in a sold-out concert presented by Wigmore Hall. Their success led into a 21-concert-tour in Germany in 2022. During the pandemic, the trio managed to keep performing, including a special project in several performances of Morton Feldman’s epic, two-hour-long Piano Trio.

The Trio takes its inspiration from the musicianship, integrity, and humanity of the pianist Mieczysław Horszowski (1892–1993). The ensemble’s pianist, Rieko Aizawa, was Horszowski’s last pupil at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. The Trio’s repertoire includes works by many of the composers with whom Horszowski had personal interaction, including Gabriel Fauré, Enrique Granados, Bohuslav Martinu˚, Maurice Ravel, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.

In addition to their performance cycles of the complete trios of Beethoven, Schumann, and Brahms, the Horszowski Trio advocates for the music of our time. The Trio is ensemble in residence at the Longy School of Music at Bard College in Cambridge, Mass., and of the Leschetizky Association in New York City.
