Trio Confero was founded in 2018 by clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov as a logical continuation of his quest to bring to the larger audience the superb yet seldom-performed chamber music repertoire for clarinet. Together with his partner, Japanese pianist Misuzu Tanaka, and cellist Anita Balázs, Trio Confero is comprised of three exceptionally talented musicians who are prizewinners of many international competitions and graduates of the world’s most prestigious music academies - The Juilliard School and Yale School of Music.
Founded in the late 1960s, the Howard Gospel Choir (HGC) is the first collegiate choir of its kind in the world. As a result, HGC has pioneered an international legacy in gospel music ministry. HGC has an active roster of seventy-plus persons consisting of students and alumni from Howard University, as well as others from the surrounding community.
For almost five decades, the HGC has set a very high standard as a premier performing arts ensemble, singing at a wide variety of venues in and around Washington, DC including: The White House, the Capitol Building, DAR Constitution Hall, Washington National Cathedral, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
