Seraphim Trio Plays Schubert

As part of their year-long immersion in Schubert, the Seraphim Trio will perform a two concert series of recitals of Schubert’s music devised around his entire chamber works for piano trio.

The Series 1 concert The Wanderer, features two of Schubert’s trios while the Series 2 concert Schubertiade features 4 works including the Notturno D 897, the rarely heard piano quartet D 487 and the famed Trout Quintet for which Seraphim Trio will be joined by violist Jacqui Cronin, Sydney bassist David Campbell and Belinda Kendall-Smith from Adelaide.

Seraphim Trio, comprising Helen Ayres, Anna Goldsworthy and Tim Nankervis has made an outstanding contribution to the musical life of Australia over the last two decades. The trio has remained steadfastly committed to chamber music, from building the contemporary repertoire to developing new audiences and teaching the next generation of performers. A regular guest at music festivals throughout Australia, Seraphim has released two CDs on ABC Classics, the latest Beethoven Piano Trio, and has commissioned a broad repertoire of new Australian works.
