This Caf茅 Classico concert will take place at 3 p.m., followed by a post-concert coffee and commentary by Elizabeth Bergmann at 4 p.m.
鈥淏eethoven鈥檚 last trio, dedicated to the amateur musician and benefactor, Archduke Rudolph, is a fantastic example of the epic proportions and wonderful lyricism found in so much of his music,鈥 said Bergmann, artistic director, concerts for LCMS.
鈥淭he monumental work, which is the longest piano trio by Beethoven, was premiered when he was deaf.
鈥淎pparently, he played so loudly that the strings and keys rattled and jingled and some of the quiet passages were not heard at all.
鈥淐ome and hear a modern day trio interpret this inspiring music, we promise our beautiful Steinway piano won鈥檛 be rattling and shaking.鈥
