Trio Sine Nomine, "the nameless trio," is violinist Lydia Choorapuzha, violist Warren Davidson, and cellist Adam Liu (of the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra). On this program, entitled "Songs and Dances", they will play
- a trio by Joseph Haydn that features a set of variations on a songful tune, followed by two dance-like movements
- Wrong Mountain Stomp: the story of Jenny, who leaves her mama and boyfriend in Appalachia to pursue a life of adventure in the Rockies
- the Trio in G major by Beethoven, Opus 9 #1, which, among its marvels, features a glorious slow movement and a skittering, racing finale
In addition, Lydia and Adam will play a spectacular arrangement of Astor Piazolla’s Libertango, and Warren will offer a mysterious lyrical piece by Alan Hovhaness for viola alone called Chahagir.
