Tonight Live from WFMT presents The Lincoln Trio. Described by STRAD Magazine as “Sensational” “Bewitching” and “Models of vibrancy and control” (GRAMOPHONE Magazine), the celebrated GRAMMY nominated Chicago-based Lincoln Trio formed in 2003 and have been praised for their polished presentations of well-known chamber works and their ability to forge new paths with contemporary repertoire. The group’s reputation as a first-rate ensemble draws an eclectic audience of sophisticated music lovers, young admirers of contemporary programs and students discovering chamber music for the first time.
