New York Philharmonic principal clarinet Anthony McGill, “knockout” mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron (The Times), and Steinway Artist Gloria Chien combine in Trio Afiori, a chamber group critically acclaimed for its genre-defying work and intense creativity. In their first appearance at Eastman, they present a commission from composer Gabriel Kahane—a work that explores the “identities and personalities of the three performers”—among other works.
