The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly presents the Essex Piano Trio as part of its Tenth Anniversary Series on April 18^th at 7:30pm in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church. The trio, playing a combination of the piano, violin and cello, will perform pieces that explore the friendships between the late 19^th and early 20^th century composers including Ravel, Vaughan Williams, Tchaikovsky and Arensky. 

After playing together for several years throughout New England, the musical friends known as the Essex Piano Trio formalized their working relationship in 2017.  Their signature concert title “A Conversation among Friends,” borrowing a descriptive phrase from American biographer Catherine Bowen, alludes to their audience-friendly concert format of interesting music interspersed with casual commentary.  The trio’s primary goal has been to grow as musicians while making the best music possible to share with audiences. Essex Piano Trio members bring many perspectives from their academic backgrounds and professional lives as educators and performers.

The historic Meetinghouse is located on the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street). General admission is $30, students $10, under 12 free. Tickets are available at the door and online (recommended) with more information at: www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org.

Parking is available on the Green in front of the Meetinghouse (enter between the granite pillars) and at other locations around the Historic District. An accessible side entrance with a lift is at 10 Church Street.
