2015
Violin, Cello, Piano Premiered by the Gloriosa Trio at the New Jersey City University and at the Harvard Club in New York and subsquently performed at the Ridotto in Huntington, NY and the Boulder Chamber Orchestra's Chamber Music Series. The Gloriosa Trio performed Gloriosa on Colorado Public Radio and have continued to feature it on their programs around the world, in addition to releasing a recording of the work on Centaur Records, available for purchase here.
“Karen LeFrak’s Gloriosa... shares some of the wistful atmosphere of Fauré’s century-old music, making it a good program fit. The work itself was evocative and at time playful. Worthy of further listening.”
