Amatis Trio

Arcadia is a hilly landscape in the centre of the Peloponnese. This remote region with its scattered shepherds was already considered an idyll, a lost paradise, in ancient Greece. The concert by the young Amatis Trio presents highly varied places of longing. “La fontained’Arethuse” from Karol Szymanowski’s cycle “Myths” op. 30 tells the story of the transformation of the nymph Arethusa into a spring. The Andante molto semplice from Rebecca Clarke’s piano trio and Franz Liszt’s Elegy No. 2 for cello and piano are full of nostalgia and melancholy. But there is also a bright place of longing, such as the folkloristic Rondo all‘Ongarese from Joseph Haydn’s G major Trio (“Gypsy Trio”) or a space characterised by passion, such as Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor. The concert is linked to the “Myths and Legends” exhibition (opening 27th July) with works by Graubünden artist Patrick Devonas, who will also be present. The exhibition can be visited after the concert.
