The Parhelion Trio, Nov. 12, 2017 - 2:00 p.m.
An "Effervescent" Trio!
Le Petit Salon de Musique presents The Parhelion Trio. Praised by The Strad Magazine for their "effervescent" playing, The Parhelion Trio is a New York City based, all-female ensemble dedicated to bringing virtuosic, robust, and impactful contemporary music to diverse audiences. For its Le Petit Salon performance, the trio will play an exhilarating program of 21st century works for flute, clarinet and piano, interspersed with beloved classics by Brahms and Debussy.
American clarinetist Ashleé Miller has been praised for her rich “color and imagination.” She was awarded the very first Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award and has appeared as a guest artist with the Elysium Ensemble and Alaria Trio at Carnegie Hall. As a member of Syzygy New Music Ensemble, hailed as “one of 2009 most promising groups” by Sequenza21, flutist Sarah Carrier has made numerous appearances on television and radio and performed in concert halls around the world. She won the National Flute Association Masterclass Competition in 2007. Pianist Andrea Christie is a versatile performing artist with a flair for late-romantic works and a passion for contemporary music. A native of Victoria, British Columbia, Christie has been playing piano since the age of four, and received her Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees from SUNY Stony Brook.
The Parhelion Trio was a semi-finalist in the inaugural M-Prize International Chamber Music Competition, the largest chamber competition in the world, and has premiered over 20 new works dedicated to, or written by, the trio.
“Some of the most exhilarating playing I’ve heard in years.” (Paul Schoenfeld, American Composer and Faculty at University of Michigan)
About Le Petit Salon de Musique
Welcome to "Le Petit Salon de Musique", a place where you can enjoy exceptional music in a lovely, intimate setting at a very reasonable price.
Here's what some of our guests have said about Le Petit Salon concerts:
"Le Petit Salon de Musique continues to provide outstanding programs featuring truly accomplished musicians. The intimacy of the setting, and the virtuosity of the performers, make it a unique experience for people who truly love good music. We have been attending since the Salon's inception, re-arranging our own busy schedules whenever necessary in order not to miss a single concert." Susan and Paul Glatzer
"On December 18, 2011 we attended the concert at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship which featured Alexandria and Friends. It was our first concert at the Fellowship. We experienced one of the most exciting, enjoyable and musically competent concerts we have attended in many years. Alexandria Lee's piano performance was professional, beautiful and electrifying. The individual soloists on the violin, cello, viola and flute displayed outstanding competency. The finale quartet was nothing more than breathtaking. We look forward to attending future concerts." Deanna and Ted Schwartzman
"The concerts are absolutely superb. The performers are first rate and the venue is great. Keep it up!" George
"I've attended two of the concerts, and have to say that I was amazed at their professionalism. The music is wonderful and the atmosphere cozy. I could listen to the string quartet every week-they were magnificent!" Diana
"I just wanted to say that I was so glad I made it to the concert (just in the nick of time!!) because the performance was absolutely wonderful. I commented to another that I wouldn't be surprised if people somewhere, in other venues, etc., pay up to 10 times what we did yesterday to hear such a concert (Clueri Quartet). It was just amazing. Thank you for continuing to bring us such talented artists, at an irresistibly affordable price." Carol Castillo
