Manchester Chamber Concerts Society’s concert season returns to the Stoller Hall with six world-class chamber recitals between September 2026 and March 2027.Programme
HAYDN Piano Trio in A-flat major, Hob.XV:14
SMETANA Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 15
Interval
HAYDN Piano Trio in C major, Hob.XV:C1
BRAHMS Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101
In the first of two concerts in the MCCS 26/27 to feature keyboard works, Trio Gaspard champion some of the greatest works of the piano trio repertoire. The programme includes two works by Haydn, a composer with whom the group have a special affinity as they are currently in the midst of recording all 46 of his piano trios.
Haydn’s Piano Trio in A-flat major is a piece that sparkles with humorous moments, including flourishes meant to reference folk dances and even the sound of a medieval hurdy-gurdy. Smetana’s G Minor Trio takes its own folk references to a darker place, with the ferocious tarentella dance that makes up the third movement driving to a thunderous conclusion to the first half of the performance.
The second half of this concert is a chance for all three instruments on the stage to shine in virtuosic moments, with Haydn’s Piano Trio in C Major and Brahm’s Piano Trio in C Minor showing why the group’s violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha, cellist Vashti Hunter and pianist Nicholas Rimmer have all become successful solo artists in their own right.
