Jacques Thibaud String Trio
7:30pm - German Society of PA [tickets] [directions]
One of the foremost string trios in the world, the Jacques Thibaud String Trio founded 1994 in Berlin (Germany), will delight you with keyboard works by Bach in very special arrangements. No less a composer than Mozart wrote a number of slow movements to precede transcriptions he made of fugues from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavichord. These rarely performed gems will be contrasted with Bach's joyful Italian Concerto recently arranged for the Thibaud Trio by Laszlo Varga and with Villa-Lobos' String Trio.
