The Trio Freixas brings together violinist Tatevik Khachatryan, cellist Laia Puig and pianist Alba Ventura, a Spanish pianist whose concert career began as a soloist with the Orquestra de Cadaqués. Their approach combines major works of the chamber repertoire with the rediscovery of composers who are often forgotten.

The programme includes the Variations on "Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu" by Ludwig van Beethoven, the Piano Trio No. 39 in G major, Hob. XV/25, by Joseph Haydn, and the Piano Trio No. 1 in B flat major, D.898, by Franz Schubert. These are three works from different periods that allow listeners to trace the evolution of the piano trio from the Classical era to the early Romantic period.

The performance is part of the Entre cordes cycle, which forms part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the birth of Pau Casals and takes place at the Teatre Zorrilla and the Teatre Margarida Xirgu. The cycle brings together chamber music and lyrical works, and establishes a link with the Conservatori de Badalona, from whose classrooms some of the participating artists have graduated.
