Description

A Trio of Piano Trios Hilary Castle & Co. Hilary Castle, violin Ani Kalayjian, violoncello Miloš Repický, Mason & Hamlin Model AA grand A Trio of Piano Trios Haydn Piano Trio in G "Gypsy" Jennifer Higdon Piano Trio No. 1 (2003) "Color Through" Beethoven Piano Trio No. 5 in D “Ghost” Busy violinist and Stonington native Hilary Castle always bring superb New York colleagues and protein-rich chamber repertoire to Music Matters. This time, the three of them will indulge us with Haydn's brisk and magically engaging Gypsy trio and the most accessible of Beethoven's piano trios, the Ghost. Contemporary composer Jennifer Higdon's beautifully textured Color Through, with its two compact, fetching movements, will provide tuneful contrast to its Classical-era cousins. You'll also hear La Grua's popular Mason & Hamlin grand make its chamber music début with its lyrical new hammer felts. We can't imagine a finer antidote to our southern New England January!
