Avanti Piano Trio - First Congregational Church of Ripon
Returning to the Green Lake Festival of Music after their 2025 Gala appearance, the Madison-based Avanti Piano Trio continues a shared commitment to the piano-trio tradition at the heart of GLFM’s chamber music legacy. Pianist Alissa Freeman, violinist Hillary Hempel, and cellist Hannah Wolkstein bring “impressive energy and musicality” to a program that balances beloved repertoire with under-explored works, including music by female composers.
This return reflects the festival’s 2026 theme of artistic connection. As departing Artistic & Executive Director Sam Handley notes, “Returning after their 2025 Gala appearance, the Madison-based trio shares GLFM’s long-standing focus on piano-trio repertoire.” Since forming in Madison in 2018, the Avanti Piano Trio has performed throughout Wisconsin.
Their appearance affirms both continuity and discovery — a familiar ensemble deepening its relationship with GLFM while inviting audiences into the rich and evolving world of piano trio music.
