New Millennium’s rich history includes performances by many of the artists and ensembles that have shaped the classical chamber music tradition over the last half-century, including pianist Gilbert Kalish, the Beaux Arts Trio and Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, violinists Sarah Chang and Hilary Hahn, and many others.
