We welcome the renowned violinist Elizabeth Pitcairn and her legendary 1720 “Red Mendelssohn” Stradivarius back to Charleston for an intimate afternoon of chamber music in the historic ballroom of South Carolina Society Hall. The program opens with Schubert’s charming Piano Trio in B-flat Major, D.28 “Sonatensatz”, an early work brimming with youthful energy.
