Trio Mozart, a fortepiano trio on original instruments, will perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, in Steinberg Auditorium at Washington University in St. Louis.
Admission to the concert is free. Trio Mozart, in residence at the University through Feb. 14, comprises violinist Jean Lamon and cellist Christina Mahler, both members of the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Toronto, and Seth Carlin, concert pianist and Washington University associate professor of music.
The three musicians have been playing together for more than seven years, performing as Trio Mozart for the past two years.
The Boston Globe said of Trio Mozart, “It was a clear, fleet and eerily sparkling rendition (of the Ghost Trio). Dextrous, impetuous and well-considered all together.” The Toronto Globe and Mail said, “Carlin brought a lush order of articulatory nuance to bear on quiet passages like the opening of the andante music of Mozart’s K. 548 Piano Trio.
The players treated Haydn’s E Minor Piano Trio to a searching andante and a brilliant presto. You could hear Beethoven splitting the seams of his fortepiano even in his Op. No. 1 Piano Trio, but the players held firm, giving the adagio contabile great expressive weight and generating plenty of excitement in the thundering finale.” In their Washington University performance, the trio will play Franz Josef Haydn’s Trio in B-Flat Major, Hoboken XV:20 and Variations in F Minor for Fortepiano, Hoboken XV II:6; Ludwig von Beethoven’s Trio in C Minor, Op. 1, No. 3; and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Trio in B-Flat Major, K. 502.
The trio’s residency is sponsored by the Washington University music department, with assistance from the Missouri Arts Council.
