Overview

Sound Collective

Beethoven String Trios & Brahms Piano Quartets (Concert I)

Beethoven String Trio in G, Op. 9 No. 1
John Borstlap String Trio (UK premiere)
Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25

Sara Trickey violin

Sarah-Jane Bradley viola

Tim Lowe cello

John Lenehan piano

This concert presents the Kings Place debut of the exciting “sound collective” ensemble, featuring well-known chamber musicians from other high-profile groups. They present the first of a mini-series of three concerts celebrating the string trio, a genre arguably even more organic and taut than the string quartet. Each concert pairs one of Beethoven’s remarkable Op. 9 set of trios with a 20th-century example in the medium, and then adds a pianist to present one of the three piano quartets by Brahms. This concert features the first of the Beethoven trios, the 1996 Trio by famous Dutch composer John Borstlap, and Brahms’ ever-popular G minor piano quartet, with its wild Hungarian finale.
