About the Morgenstern Trio: After only two short years of working together, the Morgenstern Trio emerged on the German Music Scene by being awarded top prizes and awards, such as the prestigious US Kalichstein–Laredo-Robinson Trio Award in 2010. For the prize concerts, the Morgenstern Trio has received superlative reviews and immediate re-invitations for following seasons. This prize catapulted them onto the music scene in the USA with performances in Washington, DC’s Kennedy Center and at Carnegie Hall and other venues in NY, followed by concerts in such cities as Chicago, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Carmel, Louisville, Lexington, and Palm Beach. The Washington Post wrote: “the group displayed a unanimity, polished technique and musical imagination that I thought had vanished from the scene with the demise of the Beaux Arts Trio”. About the program: Martin was inspired by the Irish countryside and folk music, while Jalbert’s trio by the “desolate and calm” Texan desert landscape at night and the Houston skyscape by day. Schubert’s trio is one of the most beautiful and uplifting works ever written. It is one of life’s greatest testimonials and one of Schubert’s most profound creations.
