Surrey Hills International Music Festival: The Late Romantic

Programme: 

Barber Adagio | Chaminade Piano Trio | Wagner Albumblatt | Strauss Metamorphosen. 

Musicians from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: Kristin Lee - violin, Arnaud Sussmann - violin/viola, Nicholas Canellakis - cello. 

Sitkovetsky Trio: Alexander Sitkovetsky - violin, Isang Enders - cello, Wu Qian - piano. 

This stunning programme features romantic music of profound emotional depth, from the mournful melodies of Barber's famous Adagio for strings to Strauss’s expressive contemplations on loss and transformation. Cecile Chaminard’s powerful Piano Trio demonstrates her acute gift for beautiful melodic writing, while the tender intimacy of romance is reflected in Wagner's Albumblatt. 

We are delighted to welcome three players from the prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center who join the Sitkovetsky Trio in a programme guaranteed to tug at the heart strings!
