Fidelio Trio
Programme Note
The Fidelio Trio bring to Leeds a dynamic, contrasting programme pairing a new work written especially for the trio by the University’s Dr. Mic Spencer, alongside Robert Schumann’s intense and turbulent first Piano Trio in D minor. This four-movement work from 1847 is broad in proportions and wonderfully romantic in expression. Ranging from the deeply brooding to the fantastical, it is his most performed trio. see it nyir eyes (wanny uz) - Love letter no. 6 is the next installment of Mic Spencer’s 'Love letter' series which explores different ways of considering repetition as structural conceit.
The "virtuosic Fidelio Trio" (Sunday Times) were shortlisted for the 2016 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards, broadcast regularly on BBC Radio 3, RTÉ Lyric FM, WQXR, and have been featured on a Sky Arts documentary.
Since their debut at London’s Southbank Centre, they have regularly appeared at the Wigmore Hall and Kings Place, at festivals including Spitalfields, Cheltenham, St. Magnus and Huddersfield. In Ireland they regularly perform at National Concert Hall, Dublin, Kilkenny Festival and Belfast Festival as well as Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre, Beijing Modern Music Festival, Hong Kong Chamber Music Society, Singapore, Bangkok, Porto, Paris, Venice, Florence, Johannesburg, Harare, New York City, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Boston.
2024 has included performances at Dark Music Days Iceland, an extensive USA tour including National Sawdust New York and ‘Music on the Edge’ Pittsburgh, and Little Missenden Festival.
