We are delighted to present three piano trios spanning the breadth of the Romantic era: Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio (Op. 70 No. 1), renowned for its haunting Largo movement that evokes a spectral mystery—a nickname coined in the 19th century to capture its otherworldly atmosphere; Cécile Chaminade’s Piano Trio No. 2 (Op. 34), a lyrical gem from a pioneering woman composer of the late 19th century; and Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 1 (Op. 8), a single-movement “Poème” composed at age 19, unfolding with poignant poetic introspection.The SITKOVETSKY TRIO is known as one of today’s foremost piano trios, their thoughtful and committed interpretations have earned them critical acclaim and invitations to prestigious venues worldwide, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Frankfurt Alte Oper, Palais des Beaux-Arts, Musée du Louvre, L’Auditori Barcelona, Wigmore Hall, and Lincoln Center in New York.
Local actor Nora Eschenbacher will enrich the evening by reading period letters related to the music, weaving an evocative literary thread through the performance. Nora appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association.
Small bites and drinks are included. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the performance beginning at 6:30 PM and concluding at 8:15 PM.
