The concert will feature a carefully curated program that highlights the unique and often underperformed pieces of chamber music. The evening will commence with Anton Arensky’s Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 32, a gem from 1894 that stands tall among the compositions of German Romanticism. The program will then transition to Dmitrij Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15, op. 141, in an innovative arrangement by Victor Derevianko for piano trio and percussion. This arrangement offers a fresh perspective on Shostakovich’s final symphonic work, incorporating exciting timbral and rhythmic elements.

This ensemble promises to deliver a performance that explores the rich textures and dynamic contrasts of the selected works.

This Chamber Concert is a must-attend for inquisitive music lovers eager to explore the depths of chamber music’s repertoire, including works with unusual instrumentation that are seldom performed. It’s an opportunity to experience the eloquent summation of Shostakovich’s artistic life and to rediscover Arensky’s unjustly neglected masterpiece, all in the intimate settings of Munich’s most prestigious venues.
