October 18, 2011
Clarksville, TN – Musicians say that when people play or sing especially well together that they “have lived together.” In the case of two-thirds of the Claremont Trio, this is especially true since Emily Bruskin, who plays the violin, and Julia Bruskin, who plays the cello, are twins. Emily and Julia’s best friend, Donna Kwong, and they formed the Claremont Trio in 1999 at The Juilliard School.
These marvelous performers recently appeared at Austin Peay State University during the October 14th presentation by the Clarksville Community Concert Association apart of their Community Concert Series. In addition to performing at the concert, the musicians gave a series of master classes to music students at Austin Peay State University.
