| Mendelssohn Explained... Saint Michael Trio - Villa Chamber Music Series |
Presented by Montalvo Arts Center at Montalvo Arts Center
October 17, 2010
The Saint Michael Trio performs Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in C minor, Opus 66, the second-to-last thing the composer ever wrote. But this is Mendelssohn like you’ve never heard him before! More than merely the music, the performance will also feature extensive commentary, audience participation, and demonstrations dissecting Mendelssohn’s technique and signature compositional devices. Concertgoers will also learn about his life and times and leave with an appreciation for the context in which the great composer perfected his craft.
The Saint Michael Trio has quickly staked its claim as one of Northern California's premiere piano trios. Established in 2007, the Trio already perform with remarkable rapport and understanding, and as an ensemble they showcase the same virtuosity that has marked their solo careers. Highly praised for their vivid interpretation of the classical literature, the Trio has simultaneously established a reputation for making their concerts interesting and accessible, through lively dialogue and commentary. They also charm audiences by mixing in pop and jazz material alongside the classics.
In 2008, the Saint Michael Trio were named Musicians in Residence at Menlo College, where they teach master classes and provide a stream of community musical events.
“The Saint Michael Trio has a passion for divulging interesting details to the audience, using sports metaphors, humor … whatever else helps people understand.” The Palo Alto Weekly
