Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han (artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS), founders and directors of Music@Menlo festival, and founders of the classical record label ArtistLed) present Beethoven’s six Piano Trios in a landmark new recording project bringing together six of today’s leading violinists — Benjamin Beilman, Chad Hoopes, Paul Huang, Kristin Lee, Arnaud Sussmann, and Danbi Um. The violinists all are alumni of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program and have since assumed prominent roles among the Society’s distinguished roster of artists. Benjamin Beilman, featured in the Op. 97 “Archduke” Trio, is an alumnus of the Music Institute of Chicago Academy where he studied with the legendary teachers Roland and Almita Vamos. The other five violinists for the three Op. 1 trios and the two Op. 70 trios are well-known to audiences who attend CMS concerts at the Harris Theater and enjoy CMS’s weekly program syndicated by the WFMT Radio Network.
