This faculty trio program-featuring clarinetist Christian Ellenwood, cellist Benjamin Whitcomb, and pianist MyungHee Chung-features Austrian music from the beginning and end of the Romantic Era: including Beethoven's early trios for this expressive combination of timbres and the seldom-heard Trio in A minor by the late Romantic composer Carl Fruhling.
