Horszowski Trio Premiere Wuorinen’s Second Piano Trio
Program to Include Wuorinen’s First Piano Trio and Works of Clarke and Schubert
April 15, 2025 — The Horszowski Trio (Jesse Mills, violin; Ole Akahoshi, cello; Rieko Aizawa, piano) will give the first performance of Charles Wuorinen’s Second Piano Trio, a work the composer wrote for them shortly before his death in March 2020, as part of the Trio’s debut performance at the Library of Congress’s Coolidge Auditorium on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 8:00 PM. The program will open with Rebecca Clarke’s Trio, a work which won second prize at Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge’s 1921 chamber music competition. Coolidge was gifted the manuscript of the work by the composer, and in turn, through the Rebecca Clarke Society, gifted it to the Library. The program will continue with Wuorinen’s 1983 First Piano Trio, followed by the new Wuorinen Second Piano Trio, and conclude with Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, D. 929 (1827), performed in its original, uncut version.
