Take a peek at the Poulenc Trio's season calendar and come hear for yourself.
Plays Well With Others
Chamber music has a singular ability to bring people from every background together in the pursuit of beauty. This season the Poulenc Trio will collaborate with two dynamic soloists and two great ensembles - the amazing soprano Hyunah Yu from Baltimore, star clarinettist Alexander Fiterstein from New York, the National Gallery Chamber Players from Washington, DC and the Jacques Thibaud Trio from Berlin, Germany. Yu, who was recently featured in the title role of Peter Sellars' Mostly Mozart Festival production of Zaide, will appear with the Trio at Music at the Walters in Baltimore. Fiterstein, recent winner of the Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition, will also make a Walters appearance. The Thibaud Trio, which has been called "the best... a trio that shows what strings can do" by the New York Times, will appear with the Poulenc Trio in Washington, New York and Baltimore. The greatly respected National Gallery Chamber Players, will appear as part of the Poulenc Trio's Arts Exchange Initiative - the first in a new series of musical collaborations with great museums around the world.
A Play Date on the Amalfi Coast
The breathtaking beauty of Ravello, Italy has inspired centuries of art and music, from the poet Boccaccio to painter William Turner to operatic composer Richard Wagner. In summer 2006, the Trio continued this inspired tradition, as featured artists at the famous Ravello Music Festival. The Festival's theme this year was 'Games', and the Trio played along with two exclusively commissioned compositions, by Russian-American and Italian composers.
