Event Details

In a celebration of instrumental odd couples, three duos highlight the extremes of possibility for their ensembles. Maurice Duruflé’s post-Romantic trio augments the duo format, and all join for the concluding septet by virtuoso pianist Hummel, who was the pupil of Mozart and Haydn and was admired by Beethoven.
