About this event

When not performing as a soloist, violinist Nicola Benedetti appears frequently as a chamber musician 鈥� most often with the trio she co-founded with pianist Alexei Grynyuk and cellist Leonard Elschenbroich. Here the three musicians pair Brahms鈥檚 first and stormiest piano trio 鈥� its darkness belying the work鈥檚 major key 鈥� with music by American-born composer Arlene Sierra. Inspired by the migration patterns of butterflies, her Butterflies Remember a Mountain is a work of pointillist detail and shimmering harmonies, painted in a sequence of delicate textural gestures.
