What they’re playing
Berkeley’s Trio masterfully balances energy, emotion, and elegance. The spirited first movement bursts with bold, inventive ideas, the second unfolds with heartfelt beauty, and the finale delights with playful variations that echo the charm of Mozart.
Elgar’s Violin Sonata in E minor, composed in the final, reflective years of his life just before the iconic Cello Concerto, takes you on an emotional journey through anger, sorrow, and introspection in the wake of war. Brahms’ Horn Trio in E flat unfolds with shifting emotions—at moments, it radiates warmth and romance; at others, it carries a deep, melancholic intensity. Its lively finale promises to close the evening on a triumphant note.
