The third concert of the 2005-06 Boise Chamber Music Series at Boise State University features the Paris Piano Trio at 8 p.m. Friday, March 3, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall. Tickets are $20 general admission or $15 for students and seniors, available at 426-1216 or by e-mail at jbelfy@boisestate.edu.

The trio consists of Regis Pasquier on violin, Roland Pidoux on cello and Jean-Claude Pennetier on piano. The March 3 concert is dedicated to French music, including the trios of Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Ravel and Ernest Chausson. This late-Romantic French chamber music is known for its sensuous sonorities, modal ambiguity and clear, elegant structures.

The three musicians are professors at the famed National Conservatory of Music in Paris.
Since their student days at the Conservatory, these instrumentalists have continued to play chamber music and tour together. Their first tour was taken when violinist Pasquier was just 13 years old. Known as “Les Musicians” in Europe, they record for Harmonia Mundi and the Lyrinx labels.

The performance is sponsored in part by a grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts and by the Boise State Department of Music.
