The Minerva Piano Trio have established themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting trios whose playing has been described as “wonderfully rich, thunderous, and lyrical” (Classic FM). Acclaimed for their performances of the richly varied traditional repertoire, the Trio are equally passionate about reviving important but rarely performed works, championing leading young composers by commissioning new works and arrangements, and collaborating with other art forms such as dance.

Maurice Ravel (arr. David Knotts) Scenes from ‘Daphnis and Chloe’

Franz Schubert Piano Trio No.1 in Bb major D898

Minerva+Piano+Trio tall.jpg

The Minerva Piano Trio returns to St John’s Smith Square with a programme featuring Schubert’s Trio in B-flat major and an arrangement of selected scenes from Ravel’s ballet Daphnis and Chloe, which was commissioned and premiered during the Trio’s Young Artist residency at St John’s Smith Square in 2016/17.

Arranged by composer David Knotts, Scenes from Daphnis and Chloe include three movements from Ravel’s original orchestral score: Nocturne, Pantomime, Danse Guerrière. Ravel’s ballet was inspired by Greek writer Longus’ pastoral romance Daphnis and Chloe from 2nd century AD.  The three selected movements in the new arrangement offer a thematic trajectory drawn from the actual novel about the discovery of love: innocence, awakening, touch, and passion. 

Robert Schumann said of Schubert’s Piano Trio in B-flat major, D.898: “One glance at Schubert's Trio and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again.”  Written in 1827, this late large-scale work by Schubert, along with his monumental Piano Trio in E-flat, encompasses a full spectrum from unbridled joy to other-worldly lyricism.  

Described as “an ensemble which is clearly going places”, “rich, thunderous and lyrical” (Classic FM), the Trio will be recording their debut album this season which will include their own commissions such as Scenes from Daphnis and Chloe featured in this programme.

NB. SJSS will be implementing a socially distanced and safe environment. Practical details will be forwarded to ticket holders prior to the event. Should circumstances prevent the concerts from going ahead then full refunds will be provided. DIGITAL VERSION AVAILABLE at www.sjss.org.uk from 29th October 2020
