Piano Trios: Ukrainian Connections
Lyatoshynsky and Dvořák: Ukrainian roots and shared resonances across cultures.
Join three of Melbourne's finest chamber musicians in an exploration of Ukrainian and Czech music. The programme features the Australian premiere of Borys Lyatoshynsky's Piano Trio No. 1, an atmospheric masterwork from a giant of Ukrainian composition who introduced modernism into Ukrainian music during the 1920s and went on to be condemned by the Soviet authorities alongside his colleagues Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Khachaturian.
Complementing this is Antonín Dvořák's beloved Piano Trio No. 4, nicknamed 'Dumky': a work of warmth, generosity and storytelling, taking its inspiration from the Ukrainian genre of epic poetry that was historically sung by blind entertainers travelling around Ukraine. Presented by Markiyan Melnychenko (violin), Josephine Vains (violoncello) and Rhodri Clarke (piano), this concert will be a special opportunity to enjoy the music of great Ukrainian and Czech composers, celebrating the cross-cultural connections that art creates.
