Four great artists in a new and exciting ensemble: ESPRESSIVO!. Each of them is an audience’s favorite and is known for their wonderfully expressive playing, so it seemed that ESPRESSIVO! was the perfect name for this new quartet of piano and strings.

For decades, violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson, together with their piano trio partner the late Joseph Kalichstein, were considered "chamber music royalty" (Washington Post), a term that applies equally to their ESPRESSIVO! partners - the stellar violist Milena Pájaro-van de Stadt (formerly of the Dover Quartet) and award-winning pianist Anna Polonsky, one of chamber music's most sought-after partners.  

Works by Mozart, Ngwenyama (Apex co-commission), and Brahms
