The chamber music ensemble, “Sirius Piano Trio”, which comes to us from Thessaloniki, consists of three exceptional musicians, endowed with a European temperament, a wealthof expressive ability and technical excellence.

They will be performing works by great composers of the 19th century: an early work by Beethoven (which later provided the starting point for some of his greatest works), the Elegiac No 1 by Rachmaninoff, and the only piano trio piece by Smetana, which is dedicated to the memory of his daughter, who had recently passed away.

Programme:

Beethoven: Piano Trio op. 121

Variations on “Ichbin Schneider Kakadu”

Rachmaninoff: Piano Trio élégiaque No.1 in G minor

Smetana: Piano Trio op.15
