Another performance is scheduled as part of the Chamber Music Series in the 2024 Concert Season at the Tartini Conservatory. On Tuesday, March 12th, at 8:30 PM, the spotlight will be on the “Eastern Wind” production, presented in collaboration with the Circle of Culture and Arts, featuring the Trio Mirage. This ensemble, composed of young Albanian musicians—Uendi Reka on violin, Enea Nushi on cello, and Elisa Milo on piano—will perform at the Tartini Hall (12 Ghega Street).
The program includes works by Eastern composers, beginning with Bedřich Smetana’s Trio in G minor, Op. 15, composed in 1885 as a response to the tragic loss of his four-year-old daughter, Bedriska. This chamber piece reflects the influences of German Romanticism and Franz Liszt. Following this is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G minor, a composition of youthful vigor conceived in a single movement within the classical sonata form. Musicologist Marco Maria Tosolini will provide introductions to the pieces.
The Concert Season at the Conservatory, managed by Luca Trabucco and directed by Sandro Torlontano, offers free admission until seats are filled. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 040 6724911 or emailing info@conts.it.
