Lions Gate Trio
The internationally acclaimed Lions Gate Trio performs *Paris–Vienna* as part of the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage series. The program pairs Beethoven and Fauré with works by Fritz Kreisler and York Höller, reflecting the ensemble’s energetic, sensitive approach to chamber music.
The trio comprises violinist Katie Lansdale, cellist Darrett Adkins, and pianist Florence Millet. Decades of collaboration have led to an extensive concert and recording career, along with work with young musicians through festivals, masterclasses, university programs, and residencies. The ensemble has appeared in broadcasts on Norddeutscher Rundfunk, Radio France, and NPR stations, and its recordings have received a Koussevitsky Award. Its September 2026 release, *Lumières*, features music by Fauré and contemporary composers influenced by their time in Paris.
