Dr. Rochelle Sennet – 2022 Founder’s Concert

Characterized by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a “poet…[with] an expressive edge to his playing that charms, questions, and coaxes,” American pianist Daniel Hsu is increasingly recognized for his easy virtuosity and bold musicianship. He captured the bronze medal and prizes for best performance of both the commissioned work and chamber music at the 2017 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and is also a 2016 Gilmore Young Artist, first prize winner of the 2015 CAG Victor Elmaleh Competition, and bronze medalist of the 2015 Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.

The Graber-Graham-Rose Trio or G-G-R Trio, was formed in 2013 and made its debut performance at Trinity Chamber Concerts in Berkeley. Since then, the group has performed at Old First Church and NoonTime Concert in San Francisco, Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, Four Seasons Arts Cameo Concerts, and other venues. Because works of major composers for this instrumentation are limited, G-G-R Trio also explores arrangements and works by lesser known composers, including Mikhail Glinka, Marko Tajevi, Paul Juon and Gunter Raphael.
