The program features a delightful selection of chamber music pieces for this unconventional trio formation. The first half of the program showcases Robert Schumann's "6 Studies in Canon" transcribed for the trio, featuring a variety of moods and tempos, from the expressive "Mit innigem Ausdruck" to the serene "Adagio." This is followed by W.A. Mozart's charming "Trio in E flat major," consisting of three movements with contrasting tempos and melodies. The second half begins with Schumann's "Fantasy Pieces" for viola and piano, exhibiting a range of emotions from tender to fiery. The program concludes with Tatiana Nikolayeva's "Trio Op.18," which includes seven movements, each with its own distinct character and style, culminating in a lively and energetic finale. An encore of C.P.E. Bach's "Quartet in G Major" (Presto) adds a lively and upbeat conclusion to the performance.
