TCHAIKOVSKY Trio in A minor, Op. 50
Time for Three transcends traditional classification, with elements of classical, country western, gypsy, and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own. Zachary DePue ('02), Nicolas Kendall ('01), and Ranaan Meyer ('03) played together for fun while students at Curtis, shaping their mutual passion for improvisation, composing, and arranging. The ultimate result: a charismatic ensemble with a reputation for limitless enthusiasm and no musical boundaries.
Michael Schade ('90) performs frequently in the world's great opera houses. In recent seasons he has been featured in leading roles at the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna Staatsoper, and the Salzburg Festival. As a recitalist Mr. Schade has appeared at La Scala, in Vienna's Musikverein, in Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and in New York's Carnegie Hall. He has appeared in concert with the Berlin, Vienna, New York, and Los Angeles philharmonics; the Philadelphia and Cleveland orchestras; and the San Francisco, Montreal, and Toronto symphony orchestras. Mr. Schade collaborates with Mikael Eliasen, artistic director of the Curtis Opera Theatre, in an all-Schubert recital. Mr. Schade appears by permission of the Metropolitan Opera.
