The Impreza Trio this Sunday, March 12th at 4pm

 

The Impreza Trio is a newly formed, Cleveland-area piano trio. Its members have a wide background of performance experience as soloists, chamber and orchestral musicians, and are also active as teachers at all levels. In our 2016 Music For Miles series, the Impreza Trio captivated a packed audience last year for a mesmerizing performance of Shostakovich. This Sunday we look forward to an equally enjoyable concert of Beethoven, Bach and Arvo Pärt. The performance will be in the Creative Space of Waterloo Arts and can be entered through the orange door on E 156th Street (397 E 156th Street, 44110) Music for Miles concert series is always family friendly and free to the public and you may stay after the show to enjoy dinner at the adjoining Callaloo Cafe!
