The artists include German violinist Axel Strauss, much acclaimed for his virtuosity and musical sensitivity; Russian pianist Ilya Poletaev, whose incredible ear for gorgeous piano sound has dazzled audiences in previous performances at the Tannery; and American clarinetist Todd Palmer, a three-time Grammy nominee, who will be appearing at the Tannery for his 12th performance, a favorite indeed. Joining them is Austrian actor Markus Hirnigel.
