“Bridging Centuries…” traces a musical journey across three centuries, connecting the voices of Beethoven, Schumann, and contemporary composer Stacy Garrop. Beethoven’s “Archduke” Trio embodies the grandeur and lyricism of the Classical tradition, while Schumann’s passionate Trio in D minor reveals the Romantic spirit in full bloom. Between them, Stacy Garrop’s evocative work for piano trio offers a modern perspective, weaving vivid colors and narratives that speak directly to our time. Together, these works form a bridge of sound and expression, linking past and present in a dialogue that is as timeless as it is immediate.

We are delighted to feature guest cellist Marisa Solomon with the Portland Piano Trio, whose artistry brings added depth and richness to this exploration across centuries.
