Desirée Ruhstrat, Melissa Reardon and Wendy Sutter play Gideon Klein's String Trio, Erwin Schulhoff's Duo for Violin and Cello, Hans Gál's Trio and Hans Krása's Tanz, pieces that only recently resurfaced, some straight from archival sources. Bargemusic frames it as living music, not a history lesson. If you want an hour that is moving without being heavy-handed, spend this afternoon on the river.
What to expect
The trio performs in Bargemusic's intimate room aboard a moored barge, with the East River and Lower Manhattan skyline behind the players. Expect roughly a concert-length program of 20th-century chamber works and a small, attentive audience.
Good to know
- Bargemusic says its concerts this season are admission-free, with no tickets or reservations.
- Seats go first come, first served; arriving early helps.
- The York Street F and High Street A/C stations are both a short walk away.
- The room is small, so sound is close and clear even from the back.
- Brooklyn Bridge Park and the DUMBO waterfront are steps from the gangway.
Going? Keep it.
