about this program​

​

Balancing the extremes of light and dark, this program brings together two paragons of the piano trio repertoire, Joseph Haydn and Johannes Brahms, with the little-known piano trio by Enrique Granados — a masterpiece left languishing and unpublished for more than 80 years after its premiere.

​

Each piece in this program showcases the full expressive range of the piano trio, swinging unpredictably between moments of hilarity and genuine tragedy.
