Much-loved works by Schubert and Mendelssohn alongside beautiful Lili Boulanger and a ‘new classic of chamber music’ by Wolfgang Rihm.Over the last 40 years, Rihm’s ‘essays’ for piano trio have become modern classics, with their impulsive, obsessive character. This third trio begins in fragments, seemingly out of time, but later evokes Beethoven and Brahms – a surprising and fascinating listen. Mendelssohn’s wonderfully romantic second trio evokes the sacred as an impassioned personal experience – a rhapsodic and impressive piece. Written in his extraordinary ‘final year’, Schubert’s Nocturne is a sublime treasure of chamber music – lyrical, colourful, and serene. It combines beautifully with Lili Boulanger’s wonderfully evocative ‘On a spring morning’.

Inspired by the intelligence and companionship of their namesakes, the Berlin-based Trio Brontë begins our series of Friday Lunchtime Concerts, showcasing young ensembles on our BPYAP chamber-music courses.

Chiara Sannicandro violin
Annie Jacobs-Perkins cello
Lili Bogdanova piano

Praised for ‘hypnotic lyricism, causing listeners to forget where they were for a moment’, Trio Brontë returns with an enticing programme of buoyant Schubert and the impressive trio of the German composer Enno Poppe.Poppe’s only trio has been described as ‘avant-garde, personal, fiendishly difficult, and impressive in its intensity and structural arch’. It is paired with Schubert’s first trio, described as ‘a large-scale work that doesn’t feel like one’. It is contemporary with his ‘Winterreise’ but so much more optimistic in outlook that Schumann said of it: ‘one glance at Schubert’s Trio and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again’.

Trio Brontë:
Chiara Sannicandro violin
Annie Jacobs-Perkins cello

An eclectic programme that combines Pärt with Beethoven from an ensemble that also specialises in rediscovered treasures.Arvo Pärt’s Mozart-Adagio commemorates its violinist dedicatee by transcribing one of the most affecting movements of Mozart’s piano sonatas, the Adagio from the Sonata in F – a touching tribute to a dear friend. Muczynski’s musical language combines Bartok with Barber, and his Fantasy Trio is a distinctive and moving piece. Ries’ second trio combines warmth with virtuosity, while Beethoven’s ‘Gassenhauer’ trio takes its inspiration from the street song of that name and is a work of beautiful balance and colour.In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction and for this reason is indivisible. Music, as a quantum, is the essence that brings this trio together.

Quantum Clarinet Trio:
Elena Veronesi clarinet
Johannes Przygodda cello
Bokyung Kim piano

Arvo Pärt:Mozart-Adagio (8’)

Ries:Trio No.2, Op.28 (20’)

A beguilingly constructed programme of trios including Schnyder’s A Friday Night in August alongside Glinka’s Pathétique.Frühling’s trio dates from the turn of the twentieth century and is by turns reminiscent of Brahms, Schumann, and even Wagner, while also showing his distinctive voice. In Glinka’s Pathétique Trio, which recalls early Beethoven, Russian folk melody is expressed in the idiom of the Viennese classics. Meanwhile, the Russian-born Swiss composer Paul Juon’s 4 Trio-Miniatures are among his most frequently played chamber music and demonstrate his sound poetry, his art of storytelling in music, his joy in dancing and rhythmic surprises. The programme also includes the Swiss composer Daniel Schnyder’s evocative A Friday Night in August.

The exciting Quantum Clarinet Trio is committed to bringing audiences rediscovered treasures along with classic masterpieces from across the centuries.

Quantum Clarinet Trio:
Elena Veronesi clarinet
Johannes Przygodda cello
Bokyung Kim piano

Juon:Trio-Miniatures, Op.18a & Op.24a (12’)

Three string quartets that combine passion, intimacy, and spaciousness in the hands of the exciting Fiora Quartet.Shostakovich’s ninth quartet is complex, rich, and effervescent. It combines honeymoon-inspired optimism with the sparsity which characterises his later works. Philip Glass’ second quartet is surtitled Company, originally conceived as a soundtrack for Fred Neumann’s adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s 1979 novella of that title. Typically miniature in scale, it is both introspective and passionate. This Haydn quartet ‘casts a spell of intense gravity’, with a first movement featuring over one hundred falling fifths (or ‘doorbells’) and a gradual emergence from darkness to light.

Fiora Quartet:
Deniz Şensoy violin
Isabella Todes violin
Elena Accogli viola
Marion Portelance cello

Reflective music for flute, viola, and harp by Bax and Ravel is combined with Saariaho’s New Gates and a recent work by Imogen Davey.

Each movement of Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin was written in memory of a friend of the composer who had died in World War I, while Bax wrote his Elegiac Trio in the aftermath of the Easter Rising of 1916. They are combined with Saariaho’s New Gates, music which sounds as if it’s moving towards gates, opening them, and showing us new landscapes beyond – and with Imogen Davey’s STRATA, written for Trio Farben.

Formed at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 2019, Trio Farben celebrates both the individuality and compatibility of this unique ensemble of instruments, working with composers on new works and rediscovering forgotten gems.

Trio Farben:
Imogen Davey flute
Georgia Russell viola
Heather Brooks harp

Bax:Elegiac Trio (9’)

Saariaho:New Gates (13’)

Imogen Davey:STRATA (Lamination 1, Bedding Planes, Lamination 2) (14’)
