The Lyric Arts Trio presents classical music with a fresh approach.
Concerts are crafted around a central theme, and have a diverting
balance of solos, duos and trios for clarinet, soprano voice and piano.
The programs feature informal commentary about the music by the
performers. (All programs can be customized, and other programs are
available.) |
