Czech Chamber Music Society • Trio Kalliopé

Although it’s long been clear that women are capable of anything, the works of many female composers have yet to claim their rightful place in the classical canon. A concert by the Kalliopé Trio will feature music by two remarkable 19th-century women, set within a programme framed in the noble, though sombre, key of D minor. The final piece of the evening offers a rare opportunity to compare the musical voices of the Mendelssohn siblings.
