Peninsula Summer Music Festival: Orpheus Trio

Orpheus Trio presents a diverse program combining rarely heard discoveries alongside well-known masterworks. Enrique Fernández Arbós was a virtuosic violinist, and later conductor of the Madrid Symphony. His Three Pieces in the Spanish style (1880) are original, highly stylised works in the forms of some of his favourite and best-known homeland dances. Gordon Kerry’s third Piano Trio (2018) sparkles and glistens with winter light. Dvorák’s popular Dumky trio has its roots in Slavic folk music. The Dumka refers to music involving sudden changes from melancholy to exuberance. Dvorák’s gift as a songwriter is given a spectacular display in this concert.
