Cécile Chaminade, a brilliant but often overlooked 19th-century composer, was celebrated for her lyrical and powerful works, including her Second Piano Trio. The morning culminates in the much-anticipated UK premiere of Iranian composer Mahdis Golzar Kashani’s To the Pointer Stars, a vibrant testament to the enduring vitality of the piano trio genre.
