About the concert

In this concert Seraphim Trio presents the beloved Ravel piano trio alongside a rarely heard trio of Ravel’s student and compatriot, Germaine Tailleferre. Taillferre began work on her trio in 1916 (just two years after Ravel composed his), but it was not until sixty years later that she completed it on a commission from the French Ministry of Culture. As the only female member of Les Six, Taillferre was vehemently original in style. Her trio, filled with Gallic beauty, will be one of this year’s uplifting discoveries.
