• Faure Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120 

Join violinist Amanda Dykhouse, cellist Lee Copenhaver, and pianist Allison Shinnick Keep in a concert presenting two masterpieces for piano trio.  Beethoven’s well-known “Ghost” trio opens and closes with energetically joyful movements surrounding a hauntingly beautiful slow movement.  Fauré’s elegant trio is full of warm melodies, rich harmonies, and virtuosic piano writing.
