Julius Zellner & Richard von Perger: Viennese String Trios

On this new release, The Concordia String Trio performs two wonderful Viennese String Trios fom the late 19th century. The Concordia String Trio is violinist Marcia Henry Liebenow, violist Leslie Perna, and cellist Karen Becker. The Concordia String Trio explores and expands the eclectic repertoire of an under-appreciated genre- the string trio. This versatile ensemble has built a reputation for its exciting performances and innovative programs, juxtaposing pieces from the standard string trio repertoire with new compositions and little-known works of great composers. Formed in 1999, the trio has performed recitals and educational programs and has given lecture/demonstrations in Boston, Vermont, Kentucky, Texas, Utah and California. The group has also been a resident ensemble at the Warebrook Contemporary Music Festival, and recorded a capstone album entitled “90s Timeflow- Chamber Music of Alan Schmitz.”
