Montreal, February 5^th, 2025 – Clavecin en concert is pleased to announce the first classical trios concert of 2025, featuring works by Johann Christian Bach, Franz Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Alongside the symphony, string quartet and keyboard sonata, the trio for violin, cello and keyboard remains one of the major genres of classicism.

Derived not so much from the Baroque trio sonata, but rather from the “harpsichord pieces that can be played with the accompaniment of a violin and a viola da gamba” in which the French masters gave pride of place to the keyboard, the classical trio will gradually establish the perfect balance between the three partners, each deploying material corresponding to their own technique, but in total complicity.
