Trio Radiant will play works by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, by Clara and Robert Schumann and Louise Farrenc.
They juxtapose – on an equal footing – works of the famous male composers and the rather forgotten works by the female composers who were related to these men.
The central focus is a merged version of two piano trios by Felix Mendelssohn and Fanny Hensel. They are intended to grow into one, forming a symbiosis, just as Fanny and Felix maintained a symbiotic relationship throughout their lives. Creating a kind of F-A-E sonata by these two siblings.
Around this there is a group comprising the loving Schumann couple (with a Trio and a Fantasy) and Louise Farrenc (with Trio Op. 11).
