The musical dream team – pianist Emanuel Ax, violinist Leonidas Kavakos and cellist Yo-Yo Ma – reunites in Santa Barbara for an unforgettable evening of chamber music. Praised for its remarkable ensemble cohesion and immaculately refined interpretations, the trio recently recorded music by Brahms to rave reviews, and has been touring an all-Beethoven program to packed houses. Whatever the repertoire, critics and audiences delight in the faultless musicianship and boundless joy they are known to bring to each performance.
