Peabody Trio Opens Boise Chamber Music Season At Boise State

The Boise Chamber Music Society and the Boise State University department of music present The Peabody Trio for the first concert of the Boise Chamber Music Series, at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall. Back for their fourth appearance in the Boise Chamber Music Series, the Peabody Trio, including violinist Violaine Melançon, cellist Natasha Brofsky and pianist Seth Knopp, won the prestigious Naumberg Chamber Music Award in 1989 and currently serves as the resident faculty ensemble of the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, a position they have held since 1989. They have been heard on Saint Paul Sunday Morning, Morning Pro Musica, NPR’s Performance Today, CBC, Radio Canada, and WQXR Listening Room in New York. Featured in Friday’s concert will be Beethoven's “Trio Op. 70, no. 2” (the “Post-Ghost Trio”), Alfred Schnittke’s evocative postmodern “Trio of 1992,” and Schubert’s “Op. 99.” Tickets are $20 general and $15 for students and seniors. For tickets or additional information, call Jeanne Belfy at 426-1216. The Peabody Trio will also present “A Little Morning Music,” a master class with student chamber ensembles, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall. This event is free and open to the public. -30- Contact Jeanne Belfy Department of Music 208 426-1216 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
