The Neave Trio returned to our stage on November 23 with a new commission by Jennifer Higdon, partially funded by CMSU.

On February 8, local-born cellist Christopher Costanza, who has performed for us singly and with the St. Lawrence String Quartet, will be joined this time by
Anne-Marie McDermott on piano.
