June 2008
Featuring Trio Solisti and guest artists.

In June of each year, the Telluride Musicfest features three or four evening concerts. Additionally, there is an amateur night featuring musically talented non-professionals, two children's concerts in conjunction with the Telluride Academy, and open rehearsals for subscribers. The Musicfest also gives away a scholarship every year to a local music student.

In past seasons

the founding ensemble, Trio Solisti, described by the critics as "three of the most sought after artists of their generation," performed programs including masterworks of Beethoven, Mendelssohn Schubert, Ravel and Shostakovich. Branching out from the classical tradition, Musicfest, has programmed Le Grand Tango, Jazzy Classics, Americans in Paris and a program of music from American composers. Maria Bachmann, artistic director of Musicfest and the trio's violinist, promises that "what you will hear at our concerts are the pieces we most enjoy playing".

The Musicians

Trio Solisti is violinist Maria Bachmann, pianist Jon Klibonoff and cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach. As a trio they tour all over the country and individually they have performed with major orchestras and festivals the world over. For information on this wonderful ensemble go to their web site: triosolisti.com.

Returning guest artist Kathryn Lockwood, who has thrilled our audiences every summer at Musicfest, is the violist of the Lark Quartet.
