A violin, cello and a piano yodelling at Cooroy?
Hard to imagine but not when you have three outstanding musicians like Rory Smith (cello), Anna Moores (violin), and Janet Brewer (piano) of Pacific Chamber Players performing.
Their programme is called Just Trios and according to Janet the yodelling is part of Schubert’s Piano Trio in Bb, OP99.
“It is a lyrical, buoyant work, dance-like throughout with a hint of yodelling. Schubert wrote it in 1827, a year before his death. Perhaps he needed to write something light to take his mind of his illness.
“Rory Smith, Christy Dykes and I will combine to play the Brahms Trio in A Minor Op114, and then Anna Moores will take over from Rory Smith and the new trio will play the Khachaturian Trio in G Minor.
“It is a program of contrasts.
“Schubert sets the scene with his lively work. The Brahms is gorgeously Romantic with luscious sounds from all three instruments and the Khachaturian Trio is impulsive and passionate.”
Pacific Chamber Players’ Just Trios, Cooroy Memorial Hall, Sunday September 10 at 2.30pm.
Tickets are available online or cash at the door. $33 adults, $30 concessions, $10 school students.
