Aida Piano Trio

A chamber recital by the Aida Piano Trio at Conway Hall in London, pairing Beethoven and Mendelssohn with Shostakovich and Isidore Zebeljian in a programme of contrasting moods.

The Aida Piano Trio opens its programme with Beethoven's expansive Op. 70 No. 2 in E flat major. Shostakovich's searing wartime Trio follows, then a haunting Sarabande by Isidore Zebeljian, a shift in mood that runs through the evening.

The concert closes with Mendelssohn's turbulent and widely loved Trio in D minor. Taken together, the works balance familiar repertoire with less frequently heard music, and the performances are described as having real emotional range.

Conway Hall, the London concert venue hosting the evening, is the setting for this chamber programme. It suits listeners who want established classics alongside less familiar pieces for piano trio.
