Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Bay Area concert pianist Mark Anderson, Dutch violinist Antoine von Dongen and cellist Eric Gaenslen together form The Rontgen Trio, which will perform Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8 by Johannes Brahms and the Piano Trio No. 6 in C-minor, Op. 50 by Julius Rontgen on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto, 505 E. Charleston Road.

The performance will be part of the Bodhi Tree concert series, which supports a variety of nonprofits. Rontgen (a contemporary and friend of Brahms) was known in his lifetime as “the Dutch Brahms” but his music is less widely known. Anderson was the first to record many of Rontgen’s piano compositions and co-founded the trio in 2017.

Tickets to the Oct. 13 performance are $27 and all proceeds go to charity. Go to BPT and Bodhi Tree Concerts.
