The Lysander Piano Trio returns to Lincoln with clarinetist Charles Neidich on Monday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. for a program of composers displaced by the rise of Nazism and fascism in Europe—Bartok from Hungary, Castelnuovo-Tedesco from Italy, and Hindemith and Ben-Haim from Germany. The concert, entitled “Transplanted”, coincides with Nebraska’s annual week of Holocaust Commemorations and ends Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music’s 2017-18 season. The performance will be at the Johnny Carson Theater at the Lied, 11th and Q Streets.

A pre-concert lecture will begin at 7 p.m. Esti Sheinberg, associate professor of Practice in Music History at the UNL Glenn Korff School of Music, will give the pre-concert lecture. She will discuss the world political stage and the different social and political situations which led the four composers of the concert program to become “transplanted.”

A post-concert reception will be held immediately following the concert.

OLLI members may purchase tickets at the door the night of the concert at a “2 for 1” price – 2 tickets for $30.
