WHITEWATER – There’s nothing like celebrating the newness of springtime with the colorful sounds of beautiful music. Ensemble Schumann, a trio of world-travelling classical musicians, is performing at Young Auditorium on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. The auditorium is located at 930 West Main Street in Whitewater (on the UW-Whitewater campus). Tickets are as low as $22.00.
The members of Ensemble Schumann - Thomas Gallant (Oboe), Steve Larson (Viola), and Sally Pinkas (Piano) - present works by their namesake Robert Schumann, as well as by Johannes Brahms, Camille Saint-Saëns, Charles Loeffler, Francis Poulenc, Dmitri Shostakovich, and others.
Gallant, Larson and Pinkas have each performed at notable venues, including Lincoln Center, the Frick Collection, and Carnegie Hall in New York City, Jordan Hall in Boston, Wigmore Hall in London, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and the festivals at Tanglewood, Ravinia, Lucerne, Spoleto and Mostly Mozart.

Performing together since 2005, Ensemble Schumann has been featured at the prestigious Da Camera Series in Los Angeles, at the Clark Art Museum in Massachusetts, and on Live From Fraser on WGBH- Radio in Boston.
The trio’s recent debut CD release, Romantic Trios for Oboe, Viola and Piano on the MSR Classics label, has been hailed as “...exquisite music, exquisitely played, and exquisitely recorded…” by Fanfare Magazine. Audiophile Audition praised their “... stunning performances and amazingly radiant tonal qualities ...”. The Trio masters the natural lyrical qualities of diverse timbres, and the interplay among their three instruments is full of delightful and subtle touches.
This performance is part of the Young Auditorium Bramblett Memorial Chamber Series. The Series was created in 1998 to honor the memory of Jerry Earl Bramblett, who served on the UW-Whitewater Music Department faculty from 1973-1994, the year he passed away. He was a vital force in the Music Department, not only throughout his many performances, but also in the musical excellence he expected from his students and from the department in general. As a solo pianist and chamber music collaborator, he presented over 300 recitals on campus, as well as throughout Wisconsin and elsewhere in the U.S. A dedicated teacher, he was greatly respected by his students.
The Young Auditorium serves as a presenting organization for the performing arts and as an educational and cultural center enriching the lives of regional communities, offering a full season of world-class performing arts presentations. Tickets for any show can be purchased online, by calling the Box Office at (262) 472-2222, or in person. The Greenhill Center of the Arts Box Office is located inside the UW-Whitewater Center of the Arts building near Barnett Theatre on the UW-Whitewater Campus (930 West Main Street in Whitewater). The Young Auditorium is adjacent to this building, and parking is always free at the venue. To learn more, visit www.uww.edu/YoungAuditorium or follow at www.Facebook.com/Young.Aud.
