Concert Program IV: Trios and Trumpets by Martinů, Chaminade, C., Mozart, Saint-Saëns, od (2024/2024), Menlo School, Atherton, Stany Zjednoczone

Anchored by one ensemble and one instrument, Trios and Trumpets gathers music from Austria, Hungary, and France. The piano trio is represented by W. A. Mozart and Cécile Chaminade, the first woman composer to receive the Legion d’honneur. Two lighthearted works with trumpet balance the trios: in Bohuslav Martinů’s fanciful La revue de cuisine, the instruments depict kitchen utensils, with the mirth vividly reflected in Camille Saint-Saëns’s jocular septet.
