The program begins with Beethoven’s Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano Op. 11 in B flat Major, followed by a rarely heard gem, the Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano by Gian Carlo Menotti. Following intermission, the audience will be treated to one of the great classics of all time, Stravinsky’s “Suite from Histoire du Soldat” for Clarinet, Violin and Piano as arranged by the composer. The concert ends with two pieces by Beethoven; the first is the spectacular showpiece aria “Abscheulicher” from Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, sung by soprano Elizabeth Kataria Beers, followed by one of Beethoven’s most exuberant compositions for chamber music, the Quartet for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello in C Major, WoO 36, N. 3.
