The Jacques Thibaud String Trio was founded at the Berlin School of Arts in 1994. The artists first toured together in the same year, and the extraordinary success they met with after such a short time convinced them to continue on the course they had begun. Since then, the ensemble has performed throughout Europe, the U.S. and Canada. In 1999, the Trio won First Prize in the prestigious Bonn Chamber Music Competition. Nearly unique among today's chamber ensembles, these three young musicians play their music by heart.
With its name, the Trio pays homage to the great French violinist Jacques Thibaud (1880-1953). Thibaud, who had an active career as a soloist, devoted himself to playing trios with his partners Casals and Cortot. Many of the great musicians of his time, including Kreisler, Fournier, and Ysaÿe, also found their way to his Paris apartment to play with him. At 73, while still concertizing all over the world, Thibaud lost his life in a plane crash.
Eugenia Zukerman, “one of the finest flutists of our time” (Boston Globe), is also a well-known TV personality, arts commentator, and accomplished writer.
A popular performer for over 25 years, Ms. Zukerman has been praised for her elegant sound, lyrical phrasing, extraordinary agility, and graceful stage presence. Ms. Zukerman continues to play with orchestras, in solo and duo recitals, and in chamber music ensembles in North America, Europe, and Asia. She has over 20 recordings to her credit on a number of labels.
As arts correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning since 1981, Ms. Zukerman has profiled over 300 artists. She has appeared in a variety of other television programs, including PBS's Charlie Rose Show, NBC's Today and A&E's Breakfast with the Arts. Ms. Zukerman has published several articles and two novels. Her latest book, In My Mother's Closet...a collection of memories, is scheduled for publication by Sorin Books in early April 2003.
The audience is invited to join the artists at a reception following the performance.
