COURTESY PHOTO The Luzerne Trio will perform at BIG ARTS on Sanibel on Sunday, Dec. 14. The Luzerne Trio performs at BIG ARTS Phillips Gallery Sunday, Dec. 14, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $31, and can be purchased at BIG ARTS box office.

This is chamber music at its very best, performed by three gifted musicians whose near symbiosis is glorious to hear and to experience.

Pianist Toby Blumenthal is a Steinway artist who has appeared as a soloist with the Chicago and Houston symphonies and presented recitals in many venues in the U.S. and abroad, including Alice Tully and Carnegie recital halls. Raymond Gniewek was the youngest and first American born violinist to win the position of concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

Cellist Jacob Braun has enjoyed performing on many of the world's finest stages including Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires), Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, Severance Hall and Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center.
