Award-winning Elixir Trio Joins Pasadena Community Orchestra in Concert

The Elixir Piano Trio, winner of the Most Distinguished Musician award at at the 2005 IBLA International Competition in Italy, and Trio-in-Residence at the Beverly Hills International Music Festival, joins the Pasadena Community Orchestra to perform Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. The orchestra, led by Music Director Bethany Pflueger, also presents Schubert’s beautiful Symphony #8 (“the Unfinished”) and Beethoven’s “Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus.” The intimate rapport of the Elixir Trio shines in the Triple Concerto, with its intricately crafted conversations among the musicians. The “Prometheus Overture” shows more of the fiery side of Beethoven. Although Schubert’s “Symphony 8” is unfinished, far from leaving audiences hungering for more, it satisfies with soaring melodies, tender slow passages, and expansive full-orchestra sounds. Audience members may meet the soloists, Music Director, and other musicians at a reception following the concert. Admission and parking are free, and no reservations are necessary.
