Noe Music presents Merz Trio
Never before heard in San Francisco, this cutting-edge piano trio is one of the most vibrant and engaging young classical music ensembles in America.
Praised for their "fresh and surprising interpretations," the award-winning Merz Trio are known for their passionate playing and uniquely artistic programming style, interspersing classic trio works with interdisciplinary elements and their own arrangements. The Trio have made a sweep of recent US chamber awards, taking top prizes at the 2021 Naumburg, 2019 Concert Artists Guild, 2019 Fischoff, and 2018 Chesapeake Competitions. Upcoming debut appearances include performances at NYC's Merkin Hall, Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Inspired by Merz Trio's debut album "INK" (August, 2021), Ink Spills offers a unique and personal account of Ravel's Piano Trio, a work he finished penning in 1914 at a time of immense catastrophe and change for Europe and the world. Ranging from the court of Louis XV to the 21st-century, the program places Ravel not only within an immensely rich, multinational tradition (French and Basque), but also includes a number of works from the immediate decades around the Trio's composition, interweaving the work with pieces Ravel himself would have known and heard. Throughout the concert, Merz Trio's members will contribute readings of poetry and prose that further illuminate the music and speak to the era.
$45 general admission, $60 reserved, $15 student.
