Concert | Moët Trio performs works by Dvorak, Beethoven, Schumann, and Schubert


Program: Dvorak Piano Trio no. 4 in E minor "Dumky," Op. 90 Movements from Schumann's Piano Trio no. 2 in F major, Op. 80; Beethoven's Piano Trio no. 6 in Eb Major, Op. 70/2; and Schubert's Piano Trio no. 2 in Eb Major, Op. 100 Featuring: Yuri Namkung, violin, Yves Dharamraj, cello and Michael Mizrahi, piano. Regarded as “technically and interpretatively outstanding” (Strad Magazine), the Moët Trio shares a thought-provoking program revolving around the theme of "Memories." Yuri Namkung, Yves Dharamraj, and Michael Mizrahi will lead the audience through a musical narrative expressing how master composers use music to embody, mimic, and trigger memories. Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert Series is sponsored by Target. The Neighborhood Concert Series is a program of the Weill Music Institute. PROGRAM: About the ensemble: Equally in demand as concert soloists and recitalists, Yuri Namkung, Yves Dharamraj, and Michael Mizrahi formed the Moët Trio in 2005 and were immediately invited to prestigious artistic residencies across North America. After a performance at Music@Menlo, the San Francisco Classical Voice wrote that “[s]eparately and together, these are musicians you will want to hear repeatedly in coming years.” The Moët Trio has performed at major venues across North America, including the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Jordan Hall and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Barge Music and Flushing Town Hall in New York, the United States Embassy to Canada, and the Virginia Arts Festival. The trio made its New York debut in 2008 on the Schneider Concert Series at the New School. Festival appearances include Music@Menlo (California), the Perlman Chamber Music Program (New York), and Canada’s National Arts Centre (Ottawa). They have worked with the preeminent chamber musicians of our time: Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Miriam Fried, Wu Han, David Finckel, Claude and Pamela Frank, Gilbert Kalish, Jorga Fleezanis, Donald and Vivian Weilerstein, Paul Katz, Natasha Brofsky, and Joseph Kalichstein, among others.

Concert | Cuban Hip-Hop with Telmary Díaz


Hip-hop artist Telmary Díaz—a “Cuban rhyming revolution” (NPR)—edges Cuban music away from son, salsa, and Buena Vista Social Club and confidently into the global realm. At once a rapper, activist, and poet, Díaz embraces her Cuban musical heritage as well as hip-hop’s cosmopolitan future, dispensing crisp Spanish rhymes over busy bell patterns and timbales, nu-jazz guitar changes, and the peaks of reggae beats. The result is a syncretic sound infused with history—and guaranteed to secure Díaz as an undisputed leader of Cuba’s hip-hop revolution.
