DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Lisa E.\nMusicians: Ayoun Alexandra Kim\, Shintaro Ta
 neda\, and Jon Lee\n\nJoseph Haydn (1732–1809)\n Piano Trio No. 42 in E-
 flat major\n\nArvo Pärt (b. 1935\, Estonia)\n Mozart-Adagio (1992)\n\nMau
 rice Ravel (1875–1937)\n Piano Trio in A minor\, M. 67 (1914)\n\nThis pr
 ogram traces how composers from different eras engage with musical languag
 e\, structure\, and expression—each in their own voice\, each resonating
  across time.\nJoseph Haydn’s Piano Trio was written late in his life\, 
 during a period when the piano trio was gaining popularity as a chamber fo
 rm. This work reflects Haydn’s refined style: clear textures\, balanced 
 form\, and subtle wit.\nArvo Pärt’s Mozart-Adagio (1992) takes a fragme
 nt from Mozart’s unfinished Piano Sonata in F major and reimagines it th
 rough Pärt’s distinct minimalist aesthetic. The result is spare\, medit
 ative\, and reverent—a contemplative lens on Mozart's Classical voice.\n
 Maurice Ravel composed his Piano Trio just before volunteering for militar
 y service in World War I. The work blends precision with imagination and h
 ighlights Ravel’s rhythmic vitality and harmonic color.\n\nEach work is 
 rooted in its own time\, yet all three reflect a continuity of craft\, for
 m\, and expression—echoes not of imitation\, but of shared musical inqui
 ry.\n\nThe piano trio—violin\, cello\, and piano—emerged as a distinct
  genre in the late 18th century. Early examples by composers such as Josep
 h Haydn helped define the form\, which became a central ensemble for chamb
 er music.\nIn the 19th and 20th centuries\, the piano trio evolved into a 
 more expressive and often virtuosic format\, as seen in works by Beethoven
 \, Schumann\, Brahms\, and Ravel.  This combination of instruments allows 
 for exploration of structural complexity and emotional range\, often combi
 ning classical forms with new harmonic languages - three distinct voices b
 rought into dialogue.\n\nETHEA TRIO\n\nFormed through a shared passion for
  chamber music\, Ethea Trio unites the dynamic artistry of violinist Shint
 aro Taneda\, cellist Ayoun Alexandra Kim\, and pianist Jon Lee. The ensemb
 le takes its name from the Greek root ethos\, reflecting their belief in m
 usic as a powerful expression of character\, spirit\, and community. Known
  for their passionate and captivating performances\, the trio is driven by
  a commitment to musical excellence\, innovation\, and meaningful engageme
 nt both on and off the stage.\n\nTheir collaborative spirit and interpreti
 ve depth have helped cement the group’s reputation as a compelling and v
 ersatile ensemble. Each member of Ethea Trio contributes a unique voice sh
 aped by deep individual experiences. Their programming reflects a shared b
 elief in the power of chamber music to connect\, inspire\, and resonate ac
 ross communities and time.
