Downtown Music Presents: Cellist Raman Ramakrishnan and Pianist Erika Switzer

Acclaimed musicians Raman Ramakrishnan and Erika Switzer will perform the lively Five Pieces in Folk Style by Robert Schumann and the deeply lyrical Sonata no. 2 for Cello and Piano in F Major by Johannes Brahms in a free concert at Downtown Music in White Plains.

Cellist Raman Ramakrishnan has performed internationally as a member of the Horszowski Trio and a founding member of the Daedalus Quartet.  Currently an artist member of the Boston Chamber Music Society, Mr. Ramakrishnan has given solo recitals in New York, Boston, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., and has performed chamber music at Caramoor, at Bargemusic, and with the Chicago Chamber Musicians. As a guest member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, he has performed in New Delhi and Agra, India and in Cairo, Egypt .

Pianist Erika Switzer performs regularly in major concert settings around the world, including at New York’s Weill Hall (Carnegie), Geffen Hall, Frick Collection, and Bargemusic, at the Kennedy Center, and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Renaud Machart of Le Monde described her as “one of the best collaborative pianists I have ever heard; her sound is deep, her interpretation intelligent, refined, and captivating.”

This concert is made possible, in part, through the generous support of Ridgeway Garden Center, White Plains, and Lago Ristorante, West Harrison.
