Philadelphia Chamber Music Society: Kenney-Lu-Herbert Trio

• Alexi Kenney, violin
• Oliver Herbert, cello
• Eric Lu, piano

Named “a talent to watch” by The New York Times, Avery Fisher Career Grant winner Alexi Kenney made a thrilling recital debut with the Society last season. Now this extraordinary young violinist with “a tone that ranges from the achingly fragile to full-bodied robustness” returns with two equally fast-rising artists in “knockout” (San Francisco Classical Voice) cellist Oliver Herbert and 2018 Leeds International Piano Competition winner Eric Lu.

The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific. The video will remain available for 72 hours after each performance, subject to the approval of the artists.

Attending in person: At this time, and until further notice, all PCMS audience members, staff, and musicians—except for children under age 5—must show proof of full vaccination and a photo ID in order to enter and attend performances at the Kimmel Center, American Philosophical Society, and Church of the Holy Trinity. Proof of vaccination can be the physical ID card or a photo/copy (a photo on your phone is acceptable). Everyone must also wear a mask while inside these venues (note that musicians will have the option to perform without masks once on stage). Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children under 5 are required to show a negative test result taken within 72 hours of the event. While rapid tests (taken within 48 hours of event) are accepted, PCR tests are preferred (taken within 72 hours of event).
