Santa Cruz Chamber Players - The Variety of Three: Music for Violin, Cello, and Piano

Solos, duets and trios drawn from Baroque (Tartini), Classical (Beethoven), Romantic (Arensky and Gliere) and Contemporary (Piazzolla) repertoires, this program provides a maximum of variety with a minimum of players. Three may be a “crowd” in conversation or in relationships, but in music- making, it is ideal for both variety and intimacy. Three friends collaborating: selecting, rehearsing, discussing and performing the music they all want to play; that is the essence of chamber music as well as our overall “theme” for this program. As they say,“less is more” and musical thrills won’t be lacking, particularly with our performance of the “Devil’s Trill Sonata!
