Kirckman Concerts Present: Astatine Trio

Kings Place, London, N1 9AG

Description

The award-winning Astatine Trio, BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for 2025-27, presents a programme juxtaposing the Second World War-inspired darkness of Weinberg’s Piano Trio with the radiant optimism of Beethoven’s great ‘Archduke’ Trio.

The concert opens with Canadian composer Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings To Fly. ‘I’ve always been intrigued by the myth of the Phoenix’, Murphy says – ‘a bird that immolates in fire and then rises up again from its own ashes. It is such a powerful image, and one which is relevant to contemporary life, as we find ourselves balanced somewhat precariously on the brink of disaster.’

This is followed by Weinberg’s only Piano Trio: written at the end of the Second World War, which saw his entire family murdered in a concentration camp after he had fled Poland, it is a work of astonishing power and emotional intensity.
