  • Eroica Trio

    American Music, Eroica-Style

    They could "play the back of a cereal box and make it compelling" — that's how one admiring critic described the Eroica Trio. Tonight, two members of this ever-popular ensemble, Erika Nickrenz and Sara Sant'Ambrogio, join Margaret to share (and talk about) their own recordings of some great American music.

    We'll also listen to Richard Einhorn's transcendent oratorio "Voices of Light" in a performance from the World Financial Center. Written to accompany the great silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc," it features Ensemble Sospeso, Anonymous 4, and the New Amsterdam Chorus, all led by conducter David Hattner.
