About
Join Trio Taliesin for an evening of chamber music that promises to leave you feeling joyful and festive.
The concert will open with Saint-Saƫns' Piano Trio in F major. Written in 1864 when Saint-Saƫns was just 28 years old, the trio is a sparkling and exuberant work, brimming with lyrical melodies, playful energy and French elegance. The work was inspired by a holiday in the Pyrenees and Saint-Saens uses his gift for colour, charm and musical invention to evoke the beauty and mystery of the mountains.
Next, to get you in the festive spirit, Trio Taliesin will perform a piano trio arrangement of four movements from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky composed the ballet in 1892, 28 years after Saint-Saƫns had written his Piano Trio. Although the full staged version of the Nutcracker ballet was initially not as popular as the shorter concert suite, the ballet and its music has become some of Tchaikovsky's most famous work.
The concert will finish with piano trio arrangements some festive carols.
