The Peabody Trio

Since winning the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1989, THE PEABODY TRIO has established itself as an important presence in the chamber music world as vivid interpreters of the classics of the repertoire, advocates for new music, and dedicated teachers and mentors to a generation of young musicians. They bring to their music making what The Washington Post calls the romantic fervor of the 20th century greats.

This is your chance to hear one of the best trios on the scene in an intimate setting that is sure to sell out. For their last performance in the redwoods, they performed the Beethoven Trio in D major, Op. 70 Ghost, which they went on to professionally record. This recording was hailed in Strad Magazine as some of the most accomplished Beethoven Trio playing heard in many a year.

For their fourth program with RAC since 1999, we will be treated to a rare performance of Janeceks Kreuzter Sonata. Because this was originally a quartet, this is a unique piece that needs some explanation. It is known from the composer's letters that he wrote a piano trio in 1908, which is lost. But there is strong scholarly evidence that it morphed into the 1922 string quartet subtitled "Kreutzer Sonata." With the blessing of the original publisher, the composer Stephen Coxe reconstructed a trio from the quartet -- an undertaking commissioned by the Peabody Trio and the Weilerstein Trio. The program will finish with the transcendently lovely Dvorak Trio in F minor.
