Based in Berlin, the ATOS Trio was formed in Germany in 2003 and quickly developed an exceptional reputation for its luscious sound, wide-ranging repertoire, and fine interpretations. Last year, within several weeks, they took all the top honors at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and then were named the winners of the biennial award from the prestigious Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson International Trio Award consortium, of which Ames Town & Gown is a participant. Of their performances, the Frankfurter Neue Presse describes "an atmosphere that feasts on artistic care and earnestness as much as from unbounded joy of music-making . . ."
PROGRAM: Haydn, Françaix, Tchaikovsky
