Fri., July 29, 8:00 p.m. | Stent Family Hall
Sat., July 30, 8:00 p.m. | The Center for Performing Arts at Menlo-Atherton

Robert Schumann wrote that, at Brahms’s hands, the piano became “an orchestra of lamenting and loudly jubilant voices,” making his chamber works sound like “veiled symphonies.” At the center of this program is Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio, a deeply felt work by the object of Brahms’s most complicated affections.

BACH: Trio Sonata from Musical Offering (1747)
Clara SCHUMANN: Piano Trio in g minor, op. 17 (1846)
VIVALDI: Trio Sonata no. 12 in d minor, op. 1, RV 63, La Follia (1716)
BRAHMS: Sextet in B-flat Major, op. 18 (1859–1860)
