A piece that Schubert finished.

Festival Series III walks softly, but carries a big stick. The program will open with the World Premiere of Sotto Voce for piano trio, by composer, Marilyn Shrude. In Italian, sotto voce means “under the voice.” The work inhabits a quiet place, but makes a profound impact. Sotto Voce was composed for WWCMF as part of a Guggenheim Fellowship awarded to Marilyn Shrude in 2011.

Opposite this brand new trio is the B Flat Piano Trio, Op. 99, by Franz Schubert. One of two undisputed masterpieces by Schubert in this medium, the B Flat Piano Trio is a subtle work when compared to its counterpart, the magnificent E Flat Piano Trio, Op. 100. It lives “under the voice,” and yet it speaks volumes. This will be a special night of chamber music.
