Concert Program IV

Trios and Trumpets

Anchored by one ensemble and one instrument, Trios and Trumpets gathers music from Austria, Hungary, and France. The piano trio is represented by W. A. Mozart and Cécile Chaminade, the first woman composer to receive the Légion d’honneur. Two lighthearted works with trumpet balance the trios: in Bohuslav Martinů’s fanciful La revue de cuisine, the instruments depict kitchen utensils, with the mirth vividly reflected in Camille Saint-Saëns’s jocular septet.
