Program

  • Ludwig van Beethoven, Piano Trio in D Major, Op. 70, No. 1, “Ghost”
  • Lera Auerbach, Piano Trio No. 2, This Mirror Has Three Faces
  • Dmitri Shostakovich, Piano Trio No. 2 in e minor, Op. 67

There are few works as earth-shattering and soul-stirring as Shostakovich’s second piano trio. He brings together the personal, the political, and the unknowable with hypnotic, frenzied rhythms, coded messages of protest, and searing emotional impact. Gutsy and theatrical, Lera Auerbach takes us on a wild ride of mirror images and musical sleights of hand, and Beethoven shows us that he is the king of drama with a whirlwind of ghostly tension and electrifying contrast.

"Overall, the evening demonstrated once more what this group’s stalwart supporters have always known: Chameleon is a local treasure. "
— The Boston Globe
