Join the Rautio Piano Trio for a special concert launching their second album of Beethoven Trios on Resonus Classics, part of their wider project to record the complete cycle on fortepiano. The Trio will perform music from their new album alongside Haydn’s well-loved Gipsy Rondo trio.

This special concert will also feature an ‘artists in conversation’ event where the musicians talk about their approach to playing on historical instruments and invite questions from the audience. The programme will explore the wit, charm and inventiveness of ’theme and variations’ shown in each work and the development of Beethoven’s writing for the genre.

Programme
Beethoven Op.44 Trio Theme & Variations,
Haydn Gipsy Rondo Trio in G Hob XV:25,
Beethoven Op.11 Trio in Bb ‘Gassenhauer'
Beethoven Op.70/1 'Ghost'

Followed by 'Artists in Conversation' Q & A event

The Trio has released three critically acclaimed albums with Resonus Classics and are frequently heard on BBC Radio 3. They have performed at the Wigmore Hall, Kings Place, South Bank, Bridgewater Hall, throughout the UK and in France, Austria and Germany. In 2022 the Rautio Trio launched the first volume of the complete cycle of Beethoven Piano Trios, recorded on fortepiano, receiving 5 stars in the BBC Music Magazine and glowing reviews in the Gramophone and Early Music Review. The Trio’s eagerly awaited second volume is released in March 2024.

The Rautio Piano Trio are grateful to the Continuo Foundation and Gemma Classical Music Trust for their support.

Signed CDs will be available after the concert.
