Cellist Lin Esser, pianist Jim Ridl and bassist Kathy Ridl bring their diverse influences, creative philosophy and highly engaging skillsets to KinoSaito's main performance space. The program celebrates the wide-ranging and long standing creative link these three artists have enjoyed over their many years of collaboration. The ensemble's Southwestern and Midwestern American origins serve to inform and inspire the often vast harmonic landscapes typical of the trio's unique character.
