On January 12, Curtis Studio, the school’s recording label, released its fourth album, the debut recording of Trio Zimbalist: Piano Trios of Weinberg, Auerbach, & Dvořák, featuring three virtuosic works of chamber music performed by distinguished Curtis alumni Josef Špaček (Violin ’09); Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin, (Cell0 ’17); and George Xiaoyuan Fu (Piano’16).
