This program opens with Beethoven’s Trio in E-flat Major for Piano, Violin, and Cello, a bold debut work from 1795 that blends Classical elegance with glimpses of the innovation that would define his career. Jean Françaix’s Trio for Violin, Viola, and Cello is a lively and witty piece from the 20th-century French composer known for his sparkling textures and playful charm. The program concludes with Dvořák’s Quartet in E-flat Major for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, a work that weaves Czech folk-inspired melodies with the rich lyricism and vitality of Romanticism, ending the program on a joyous, radiant note.
