SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 3 p.m.
(piano, violin, cello)
This fall, the Portsmouth Athenaeum Chamber Music 2019 welcomes the return of Neave Trio, a program of piano trios by four distinguished female composers, spanning the Romantic era through the modern day. The Piano Trio in A minor by Amy Beach, New Hampshire born and the first female composer to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra (the BSO in 1986), incorporates lush romantic melodies over impressionistic tones and color. The unique harmonic language of British early twentieth century composer and violist Rebecca Clarke are showcased in her Piano Trio. Cecile Chaminade was primarily a pianist and her Piano Trio No. 1 unifies the strings with the piano in supportive, balanced setting. Different moods and energy levels characterize the two movements of the Piano Trio by contemporary American composer and Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon, who named the movements “Pale Yellow” and “Fiery Red.”
