Trio Afiori

NEW POWERHOUSE TRIO OF CMNW FAVORITES

Returning to CMNW this fall are three of classical music’s most brilliant musicians: the exceptional clarinetist and Avery Fisher Prize-winner Anthony McGill, Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron, and our own Artistic Director, pianist Gloria Chien! Their new Trio Afiori will present one of our most unique programs yet, as these three illuminating musical minds join forces with repertoire specially arranged for the triple-threat of mezzo-soprano, clarinet, and piano. Join them for an evening of stunning music by Brahms, Kian Ravaei’s mesmerizing Gulistan—a CMNW commission premiered in 2023—and two brand-new works by Alex Ho and Valerie Coleman commissioned by CMNW for this outstanding trio.
