Brian Chapman and friends Rosanne Hunt and Susan Pierotti will perform a highly varied blockbuster program of chamber music at Wesley of Warragul on Saturday October 11.
The afternoon program will feature piano trios by three very different Russian composers.
Opening with the early-romantic elegance of Glinka's charming Trio Pathétique in D minor, the mood changes drastically for Shostakovich's powerful Trio No.2 in E minor, Op.67. Inspired by the horror and tragedy of World War II, the piece is dedicated to his suddenly deceased mentor.
After interval the concert will conclude with the late-romantic passion and drama of Tchaikovsky's monumental Trio in A minor, Op.50, dedicated to the memory of his friend, the pianist Nikolai Rubinstein.
"If you haven't heard the Tchaikovsky Trio before, you'll wonder where it's been all your life, and if you've heard it for the first time recently, you'll certainly want to hear it again!" Brian Chapman said.
The "Three Russian Piano Trios" concert will be held at Wesley of Warragul on Saturday October 11 at 3pm.
