The programme pairs a lesser-known Belgian work with two pieces from the core chamber repertoire. Joseph Ryelandt's Trio No.1, a late-Romantic score with a rich harmonic palette, is championed by the Ryelandt Trio, the ensemble that bears the composer's name. It is placed alongside Nikolai Kapustin's Divertissement, a piece that draws on jazz idioms and makes considerable demands on the performers.

The evening closes with Dvořák's Piano Trio in E minor, known as the 'Dumky'Trio, whose alternation of melancholy and dance movements gives the programme its shape. The concert is part of the Sunday Concerts series at Conway Hall, which closes its 2026 season with this programme.

Conway Hall hosts concerts and talks in London, and the series suits listeners interested in chamber music rarely heard in the concert hall alongside a familiar Czech masterpiece.
