Concert scheduled for Sunday, May 17, at Howland Center

The Howland Chamber Music Circle’s 2014–15 series comes to an end with a performance by Trio Valtorna, an ensemble featuring French horn, violin and piano.

Trio Valtorna formed in 2011. After performing together at Music From Angel Fire Chamber Music Festival, violinist Ida Kavafian and French horn player David Jolley decided to continue in collaboration, adding the young pianist Gilles Vonsattel to complete the ensemble.
