Programme Note
Weber’s Trio op 63 is one of the most well-known early Romantic works for the flute-cello-piano trio. Wilms, born in 1772, wrote seven symphonies as well as the Dutch national anthem, yet his music remains relatively unknown.
School of Music FUAM Ensemble in Residence, The Marsyas Trio, formed of Australian flautist Helen Vidovich, Canadian cellist Valerie Welbanks and Belarusian pianist Olga Stezhko, are graduates of the Royal Academy of Music. Showcasing a diverse repertoire from the Classical and Romantic eras to the present day, the Marsyas Trio’s programming revives a forgotten canon of repertoire whilst inspiring a generation of new works through commissioning and recording.
