Music Under the Trees: McGill/McHale Trio

Music Under the Trees: Gretna Music’s 2022 Season

July 10: McGill/McHale Trio

Brothers Anthony, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and Demarre McGill, principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, met Irish pianist Michael McHale at a residency and something just clicked. Since then, these three in-demand musicians carve out time to perform and record together, creating a new body of work that will serve as a wonderful legacy for piano, flute, and clarinet. We are leaving the program up to them, letting their virtuosity and speak for itself. They are sure to blend known composers and works with works of living composers for an unforgettable concert experience.

Gretna Music presents world-class musical performances from June 17 to September 17 in the Mt. Gretna Playhouse, 200 Pennsylvania Avenue, Mt. Gretna PA. This year’s season brings GRAMMY Award winners and nominees, and artists of many genres.
