Robert Schumann pronounced Mendelssohn’s first piano trio ‘the master trio of the age’. Notable for its craftsmanship, form and unforgettable melodies, performers and audiences have made it a firm favourite. Ravel’s piano trio showcases both its traditional structure and Ravel’s innovative style, dazzling with rhythmic invention, colour and emotional richness. Beethoven’s monumental Archduke is considered one of the greatest piano trios in the repertoire, characterised by its nobility, spaciousness and the elevation of the violin and cello to an equal standing with the piano, crowning the programme with chamber music at its most profound.

The virtuosic Fidelio Trio broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 3, RTÉ and Lyric FM, and was recently the focus of a Sky Arts documentary. This will be an evening of sublime chamber music performed by some of the leading interpreters of the genre.
