SATURDAY, MAY 16
Chamber music
Lara Akatay (violin), Mina İrican (cello), Bared Çağlıçubukçu (piano)
Trio Con Brio – not to be confused with the Copenhagen trio of the same name – is an ensemble formed of three students from the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatoire who are currently being coached there by the pianist, harpist, guitarist Dr İris Şentürker. They play Beethoven’s Piano Trio No 3 in C minor (Opus 1 No 3), Rachmaninov’s Trio élégiaque No 1 in G minor and Haydn’s Piano Trio No 44 in E major. The Rachmaninov Trio, completed in 1892, was written in memory of Tchaikovsky and is highly influenced by him; its ‘powerful sweep’ ends in a funeral march.
