TAGI Ensemble presented by the Mill Valley Chamber Music Society
The Mill Valley Chamber Music Society presents the innovative TAGI Ensemble, Feb. 8 in Mill Valley.
Very few other groups combine piano, violin, clarinet and cell. This unique instrumentation enables this ensemble to be extremely flexible in their repertoire and allows the group to perform classical and contemporary music, presenting trios, duos and even solo pieces with equal aplomb.
Formerly known as New York Lyric Chamber Players, TAGI takes its name from its three Russian musicians: Tatiana Goncharova, piano; Grigory Kalinovsky, violin; and Igor Begelman, clarinet. The group also features cellist Sophie Shao, a native of Houston, Texas.
For its Mill Valley Feb. 8 performance TAGI Ensemble performs Faure-Violin Sonata #1 in A Major; Schoenfield-Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano; Shostakovich-Trio #1 op. 8; Brahms-Trio in A minor, op.114
