Trio Del Mar
Martha Long
Principal Flute of the
Oregon Symphony
Marilyn de Oliveira
Assistant Principal Cello of
the Oregon Symphony
Maria Garcia
Piano
Our program begins in Spain with a short work by Gabriel Cassadó, before moving to Japan and France—the birthplace of living composer Yuko Uebayashi. Uebayashi's compositional style weaves her Japanese heritage, the French tradition, and cinematic musical moments into a delightfully modern voice. The final work, Carl Maria von Weber's Trio in G Minor, explores Weber's operatic flair for drama.

Trio Parallel
Ron Blessinger
First Violin of the
Oregon Symphony
Marilyn de Oliveira
Assistant Principal Cello of
the Oregon Symphony
Yoko Greeney
Piano
Our program focuses on the great Russian composer Pyotor Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky's piano trio in A minor is the only piece he wrote for this combination of instruments. A monumental work with many parts, it is a tour de force for the musicians and has been a favorite of audiences for over 100 years. It is followed by a brief and joyful encore by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzola.
