Espressivo! at the HVCMC

The Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle closes out their 2026 summer season once again with the successor of the famed Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson trio: Espressivo! The piano quartet of artistic directors Sharon Robinson and Jaime Laredo together with violist Milena Pájaro-van de Stadt and pianist Anna Polonsky. On the program, beloved quartets by Beethoven, Schumann and Richard Danielpour, a favorite (as you will hear) which the HVCMC actually commissioned 20 years ago. Anna tells us about it with her customary infectious enthusiasm - see you there!

Espressivo!
Beethoven: Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 16
Richard Danielpour: Book of Hours
Schumann: Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 47

Charlotte Wilson has been immersed in classical music all her life. Her parents were great music lovers, always had something playing on the radio or turntable, and she began on recorder and then piano before she can remember. Charlotte originally wanted to be a concert pianist but just didn’t quite have it, no matter how hard she practiced! She tried many other instruments slightly too late (violin, cello, clarinet) before discovering radio. Charlotte can be heard from 4-8pm weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.
