Fortas Chamber Music Concerts: Trio Con Brio Copenhagen
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street NW, District of Columbia 20566
There are times when two plus two can equal three. Korean sisters Soo-Jin and Soo-Kyung Hong have played together since childhood. After Soo-Kyung married Danish pianist Jens Elvekjaer, the couple played piano and cello duos for years. In 1999, the two pairs came together to form Trio con Brio Copenhagen. Now these family ties, cultures, and musical connections all converge to color, shape, and energize the concerts they present worldwide. Celebrated internationally the trio “occupies a lofty perch in today’s musical scene” (The Washington Post).
