Oct. 5 Brahms Piano Trios
Salastina’s 15th season continues on Saturday, Oct. 5, with an all-day marathon of the complete piano trios of Johannes Brahms in Barrett Hall at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music.
For these performances, Salastina’s Resident Artists are joined by:
- superstar violin soloist Randall Goosby
- LA Philharmonic French horn player David Cooper, a former principal of the Berlin Philharmonic
