The Lysander Piano Trio has been praised by The Strad for its “incredible ensemble, passionate playing, articulate and imaginative ideas and wide palette of colors” and by The Washington Post for “an uncommon degree of heart-on-the-sleeve emotional frankness.” Their program brings together three works by composers from distinct backgrounds, presenting their joint interest in the spiritual. The newest work on the program, James Lee III’s “Temple Visions,” is a musical commentary on scenes from the biblical book of Revelation. Battles in the heavens and on earth, distant galaxies, and a mourning city, are depicted brilliantly in this dramatic and captivating score.
