ATOS Trio to perform at Arts Place

A world-renowned music group is performing next month in Portland.

ATOS Trio will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. March 31 at the Jay County Campus of Arts Place.

The group, made up of pianist Thomas Hoppe, Violinist Annette von Hehn and cellist Stefan Heinemeyer, have been performing since 2003. Their accolades include the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson International Trio award and the gold-standard prize for trios in the United States.

“The ATOS Trio pushes expression and dynamics to the limits, with its incredibly distinctive, warmly expressive and extremely unified trio sound, far beyond the comfortable, familiar, and expected,” according to an Arts Place press release.

Tickets for the show — it’s a part of the Eric R. Rogers Performing Arts series — are $20 for adults and $12 for students. Visit Arts Place, 131 E. Walnut St., or go to myartsplace.org to buy tickets.
