Trio con Brio Copenhagen—Jens Elvekjær and sisters Soo-Jin Hong and Soo-Kyung Hong—has for 25 years been Denmark’s leading international piano trio ensemble. Beethoven’s chamber music has always been central to their repertoire, especially the so-called “Ghost Trio,” named for the eerie atmosphere of its slow movement.
Swiss composer Frank Martin similarly explored the full color spectrum of the trio when he wove Irish folk melodies into a vibrant tapestry of dance and Celtic melancholy. The concert concludes with Trio con Brio’s own arrangement of Prokofiev’s ballet music from Shakespeare’s immortal love story Romeo and Juliet.
