The violinist and curator of the festival’s Chamber Music Series Gil Shaham, the cellist Kian Soltani who has recently begun appearing with increasing frequency on the world’s most prestigious stages, and the pianist Gerhard Oppitz, a matador of the concert stage, will play together on the lovely premises of the Convent of St Agnes, where some of the festival’s chamber music concerts are taking place again this year. The players are joining forces here to play one of Dvořák’s chamber music masterpieces – the Piano Trio in F Minor. In the spirit of Dvořák as the festival’s theme, they have also chosen music by Dvořák’s contemporary Johannes Brahms and the inventive, richly modern musical language of Sergei Prokofiev.
