Ramey Piano Trio

A performance by three of the Bay Area’s most esteemed chamber musicians, featuring works by Haydn, Schubert, and Tailleferre. Florin Parvulescu, violin; David Goldblatt, cello; Samantha Cho, piano Joseph Haydn Piano Trio in C major, Hob.xv:27; Germaine Tailleferre Piano Trio No. 1; Franz Schubert Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 99, D. 898 in B-flat major. The Ramey Trio consists of San Francisco Symphony members – violinist Florin Parvulescu and cellist David Goldblatt – alongside pianist Samantha Cho. The San Francisco-based Ramey trio will present an exciting and dynamic program: a mixture of traditional staples of chamber music literature, such as the titanic Schubert B-flat major trio, as well as the exotic trio by the lesser-known composer Germain Tailleferre, the only female member of Les Six, a group of early 20th century French composers whose music represents a strong reaction to the heavy Romanticism of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss, and ironically fellow French composer Claude Debussy. The program opens with the beautiful and sparkling piano trio by Haydn – a popular work in the piano trio literature showcasing Haydn’s brilliant writing for the genre.
