High Desert Chamber Music’s (HDCM) 2026-27 season, presented by Washington Trust Bank and Lynch Murphy McLane LLP, continues in November with the Central Oregon debut of Trio Zimbalist. Since making their debut in 2021, the young piano trio has quickly built an international reputation for highly charged performances and a distinctive musical energy.

This concert is brought to you by the Pine Tavern and will take place on Sunday, November 8, 2025, at 5pm, at the First Presbyterian Church. The program features works by Ravel, Martinu and Schumann. Ticket holders may join the musicians for a concert preview at 4:15pm.

The members of the ensemble — violinist Josef Špaček, cellist Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin and pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu — are distinguished alumni of the renowned Curtis Institute of Music and are in demand internationally as soloists and chamber musicians. Their debut recording, Piano Trios of Weinberg, Auerbach and Dvořák, was named a Gramophone Editor’s Choice and praised as “an astonishingly accomplished debut.”

Trio Zimbalist’s appearance continues HDCM’s 19th-season focus on the next generation of classical musicians. The 2026-27 season features exceptional early-career artists alongside returning audience favorites, bringing fresh perspectives and a new generation of musical voices to Central Oregon.
