For their upcoming performance at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, Trio con Brio Copenhagen will perform a program titled “Ghost Stories.” The Trio will inspire and enthrall audiences as they perform Bent Sorensen’s “Phantasmagoria,” Beethoven op. 70/1 “Ghost” and “Trio in e-minor” from Shostakovich.
