Renowned pianist Juho Pohjonen, lauded for his “impeccable technique” (The Washington Post) and “elegant musicianship” (The New York Times), joins LACO artists to perform two seminal keyboard works from the Romantic era, Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major and Schubert’s Piano Quintet in A major, “Trout.” The program opens with Schumann’s Three Romances, an enduring oeuvre dedicated to his wife Clara written just as he began to succumb to madness.
