Beginning in Australia and then France, travelling to ancient India and landing in England in 1921, the range of music in Concert 4 shows that the power of music is indeed universal. Vibrant and imaginative Collide opens the evening with Robert McIntyre’s Phoenix, written specifically for the trio and reflecting a very personal journey of renewal from this young composer.
Hari Sivanesan Trio will open our ears and minds to the ravishing soundscape of a Classical Indian raga before we come back to our more familiar sound world of the piano trio. Trio Anima Mundi performs Rebecca Clarke’s unfairly neglected Piano Trio. An astonishing work, it traverses sorrow and despair before a bright and hopeful conclusion.
