Three extraordinary musicians of the classical music world join forces in this program, pairing the neoclassical austerity and elegance of Prokofiev and Ravel with one of the most profound works in the chamber music repertoire. Shostakovich’s Piano Trio, written in 1944, is at once a deeply personal memorial and a response to the Holocaust — music that confronts the unimaginable and transforms it into something of enduring meaning and human feeling.
