Unlock Piano Trios (Johanna Roos, Jessica Bailey, Sue Paterson-Jones)

From the sparkling folk-inspired wit of Haydn’s Gypsey Rondo Trio to the passionate lyrical depths of Brahms’s Piano Trio in C minor and the bittersweet elegance of the Five Pieces for Two Violins by Shostakovich, this concert celebrates the remarkable expressive power of the piano trio. Join us for a beautiful programme where we will unlock piano trios from across Europe and Russia, contrasting in mood, colour and style.
