Trio Arkel
Trio Arkel brings beautiful and fascinating chamber music concerts to the people of Toronto. John Terauds, The Toronto Star, January 2009
"Their swords were their bows, and their victory was in forgetting about their individual status in their main jobs … and deliver a gorgeous, and intellectually stimulating program…Bérard, Li and Zelenka carved into [Beethoven’s Trio Op. 9, No. 2] with glee, coming up with a full-blooded reading that never rode roughshod over quiet passages."
Announcing…
Welcome to Arkel Chamber Concerts,
