Celebrating Mahler in May
The Eroica Trio, who appeared on their own in a February concert
sponsored by the Community Arts Partnership at the Peddie School
(CAPPS), appears with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra on Thursday,
May 19, at New Brunswick’s State Theater and Saturday, May 21, at the
Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton. The Eroica Trio plays
Beethoven’s concerto for piano, violin, and cello with the orchestra.
The trio performs the Beethoven Triple Concerto more frequently than
any other trio in the world. Its members are Erika Nickrenz, piano;
Adela Pena, violin, and Sara Sant’Ambrogio, cello. The ensemble has a
Princeton connection through pianist Nickrenz. She is the wife of NJSO
principal clarinetist Karl Herman, who is on the faculty at Princeton
University.
