PS 25 - Clarinet Trios - Beethoven and Brahms

Two of the Charleston Symphony’s newest members, clarinetist Hank Landrum and cellist Ben Mekinulov, are joined by pianist Ana Hamilton for an evening of unforgettable chamber music. The program features Beethoven’s lively and charming Gassenhauer Trio, Op. 11, a youthful work full of wit and brilliant melodies, and Brahms’ deeply expressive Clarinet Trio, Op. 114, a late masterpiece known for its rich, autumnal beauty.
