As part of their mentorship of young chamber musicians, the Bakken will present The

The Bakken Trio chamber music experience is called gorgeous and intense,
innovative and accessible and warm and committed. The Bakken Trio series is one of
the longest standing chamber music series in Minneapolis. First a quartet in residence
at the Bakken Museum of Electricity, then a piano trio at the Southern, it is now a trio
of impresaria who each build concept-driven programs designed to showcase their
repertoire of new and old music.
