    Amy Dorfman, piano; Carolyn Huebl, violin; Felix Wang, cello.

    The trio opens their Spring program with Beethoven’s sixth trio, a work that unfolds with gentle warmth and transforms into passages of exuberant lyricism and unbridled joy. The trio combines this with Shulamit Ran’s Soliloquy written in 1997. Claiming Beethoven as her “idol in every way”, the Pulitzer-prize winning composer describes her own music as “strongly etched musical characterization propelled by a sense of drama and expression” Ran draws inspiration from the play “the Dybbuk” by S. Ansky, one of the great treasures of modern Jewish culture.

    The program will close with Brahm’s magnificent C minor piano trio. Written in 1887 while spending the summer months in the Swiss Alps, Brahms captures the majestic grandeur, the profundities of nature, and folk elements of the mountains.

    Sponsored by an anonymous friend of the Blair School. Valet parking provided. Ingram Hall.
