“Fauré and Mendelssohn composed these extraordinary chamber music gems, each one effortlessly combining intimacy, introspection, brilliance, and technical mastery. Mendelssohn's D minor piano trio features yearning melodies alongside virtuosity, while Fauré's C minor piano quartet is characterized by warmth and optimism. Don’t miss some of Rochester’s finest musicians bringing these memorable pieces to life.”
