Trio Eclectica present Ebb and Flow, 18 May

Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries

Trio Eclectica will perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G minor and Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Trio No. 4 in E minor, subtitled “Dumky”. Both pieces Ebb and flow in character with fluctuating major and minor themes, or alternating fast and slow passages, or in tragic and celebratory themes. Trio élégiaque No.1 is a single movement piece interspersed with variations. Dvořák’s Dumky Trio stays true to its folk music roots with 6 movements incorporating an earthy and rustic musical flavour with movements alternating in sombre, commemorative, nostalgic, and playful personalities.
