At Ottawa Pianos, we welcomed new member Mizuki, and violinist Kevin who was part of our first ever trio. This trend for ensembles is encouraged, and we only need one more instrument to create a mini orchestra! In addition to our old favorite composers, there also appears to be a favourable trend to more performances of contemporary composers.
Here’s what was played:
- Gregory: Songs Without Words Op. 53 #3, by F. Mendelssohn
- Perry: Scherzo #2, by F. Chopin
- Jean-Claude: Sonata Op. #1 3rd mov, by L. V. Beethoven
