Three eminent musicians, clarinetist James Campbell, cellist Cameron Crozman, and pianist Meagan Milatz—all originally from the Prairies—join forces for a program rich in lyricism, virtuosity, and storytelling.

A new suite for cello and piano written for Meagan and Cameron by James’s son, Graham Campbell, adds an exciting new voice, infused with jazz rhythms and sweeping landscapes.
