⚠️"Caution: this piece can only be satisfactorily rendered insofar as the musicians are capable of good taste, finesse in their playing, and rhythmic precision,” quoth Jean-Marie Leclair in the preface to his Deuxième récréation de musique, Op. 8.

Alas, 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘶𝘳 Leclair (1697-1764) couldn’t make it to Summertrios to bestow his blessing... but we decided to give it a go anyway!

Reva Youngstein, flute
Lisa Kozenko, oboe
Diego Vásquez, clarinet
Barbara Oldham, horn
Shotaro Mori, bassoon

Making music is serious business… but when the lobby fills up for our nightly reception, hijinks and tomfoolery may ensue 🥸😈🤭

From open mic night to impromptu sight-reading sessions and yes, even the occasional sports watch-party (Knicks in 5 🥳), the music and merriment extend well beyond rehearsals and concerts at Summertrios!

Tchaikovsky wrote just one piano trio, but it’s a work of vast symphonic scope and tremendous emotional depth.

Maxim Pakhomov, piano
Liz Field, violin
Matt Smith, cello

In an 1882 letter to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, the composer revealed his insecurities about writing for this combination of instruments: “My only concern is that I may have left it too late to try my hand at this new sort of chamber music, and that some aspects of my writings for orchestra will show themselves. In short, I am unsure whether this is really symphonic music just arranged for a trio, rather than being specifically designed for them. I took great pains to avoid this, but I don’t know that it has turned out this way.”
