about the program

Grief is an inevitable and integral part of the human experience. The composers in this concert face grief, loss, and mortality head on. In three totally different and inspiring works, they resolve the biggest universal struggle to find a place of transcendence. From collective isolation and pain during pandemic in Patrick Castillo’s ephemera, to mourning the loss of a parent in Dvorak’s Trio in F minor, to facing the decline of one’s own mental health in the optional add-on of Robert Schumann’s third piano trio, this program presents an ultimately uplifting meditation on different forms of grief, healing, and renewal.
