The WYO’s Educational Series opens with Lysander Piano Trio

The WYO Performing Arts and Education Center is kicking off its 2022-2023 Educational Series with the “rich,” “imaginative,” and “nuanced” classical group, Lysander Piano Trio at 7 p.m. Thursday Sept. 15. 

According to the WYO Theater, the Lysander Piano Trio has been praised by The Strad for its “incredible ensemble, passionate playing, articulate and imaginative ideas and wide palette of colors” and by The Washington Post for “an uncommon degree of heart-on-the-sleeve emotional frankness” and “vivid engagement carried by soaring, ripely Romantic playing.” Beyond these qualities, the group has developed a reputation for exciting programming, combining fresh interpretations of beloved master works from the canon with a passion for new music and discovering hidden gems of the repertoire. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, WYO Theater Executive Director Erin Butler told listeners this is a return to Sheridan for the trio. 

The group has spent over a decade performing around the US with appearances at notable venues such as the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater, Los Angeles’ Da Camera Society, San Francisco’s Music at Kohl Mansion, West Palm Beach’s Kravis Center, Juneau Jazz and Classics, and among other notable orchestral engagements, they performed with the University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra in 2018.

Butler is inviting the community to start the (WYO) season with inspiration from Lysander Piano Trio on Sept. 15. Get tickets here.
