Trio Fibonacci

Beethoven: Symphonic Trios

The easily recognisable opening motif from Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is known the world over. Challenging the traditional boundaries between chamber and orchestral repertoire, this concert will allow you to discover a new adaptation of the symphony for piano trio – a reminder of the days when large-scale works were performed in condensed form in the intimacy of one’s own living room. In contrast to this monumental work, the Symphony No. 4, also adapted for trio, dazzles us with its celestial sweetness, while revealing the musical genius of the famous Viennese composer who was to revolutionise classical music.

Artists
Trio Fibonacci

Trio Fibonacci made its first appearance on the Canadian music scene in 1998, with the press reporting that “to hear them is to enter into the world of miracles” (Le Devoir, Montreal). The Trio Fibonacci has been guided by some of the world’s most respected chamber musicians, including Menahem Pressler, members of the Alban Berg, Guarneri and Vermeer String Quartets, and by their mentors Eberhard Feltz and Michael Vogler in Berlin.

Trio Fibonacci is internationally recognized for its brilliant interpretations of the entire piano trio repertoire, from the works of Haydn through to collaborations with over sixty living composers on four continents. Their concert tours have led them to several European countries, to Argentina, South Africa, Brazil and Japan, to Berlin, San Francisco and New York. Trio Fibonacci has performed for television in Canada, China, and Brazil, and their concerts have been broadcast on Canadian, German, Belgian and Chilean radio networks.
