The Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle’s June series culminates with the return of HVCMC Artistic Directors Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson and their acclaimed piano quartet Espressivo! in a concert featuring beloved works by Mozart and Dvořák, and the Hudson Valley premiere of Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s Joy Steppin’, an HVCMC co-commission.  Join us for an unforgettable evening of music-making that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Jaime and Sharon’s artistic leadership.

Four great artists with a passion for chamber music have formed an exciting new quartet of piano and strings, destined to become an audience favorite.  

For decades, violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson, together with their piano trio partner the late Joseph Kalichstein, were considered “chamber music royalty” (Washington Post), a term that applies equally to their Espressivo! partners—the stellar violist Milena Pájaro-van de Stadt (a founding member of the Dover Quartet) and award-winning pianist Anna Polonsky, one of chamber music’s most sought-after partners.
