The Peabody Trio returns to the Barns at Wolf Trap with a program contrasting Romantic German and contemporary Russian composers. It features Mendelssohn’s Trio in C minor, Brahms’ Trio in C major, a piece for piano and violin by Sofia Gubaidulina, who dabbles in mystical themes, and a short piece by the late Alfred Schnittke. The Peabody Trio won the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1989 and has been at the top of its game ever since. Along with serving as the resident faculty ensemble at Baltimore’s Peabody Conservatory, they travel the world performing at chamber music series and festivals, make solo appearances, record, generate special projects, and devote considerable time to teaching individually and at educational residencies.
