Full program notes

The day after Valentine’s Day is its own quiet kind of romance—the soft glow after the candlelight fades, when feeling lingers and time slows. After Dreaming invites you into that tender space with Rule of Three, a harp, viola, and flute trio whose sound is as intimate as it is luminous.

Centered around Debussy’s shimmering Sonata for Harp, Viola, and Flute, the program drifts between reverie and passion, pairing early 20th-century lyricism with modern reflections on memory, love, and impermanence. Takemitsu’s And Then I Knew ’Twas Wind floats like a half-remembered dream, while Bax’s Elegiac Trio offers a warm, aching beauty. Ellis Ludwig-Leone’s Past Life brings us into the present, weaving nostalgia with pulse and glow.

Rule of Three—NYC-based musicians and Yale alumni Chelsea Lane (harp), Ginevra Petrucci (flute), and Colin Brookes (viola)—takes its name from the timeless artistic principle that harmony emerges in threes. With three contrasting voices blending into one, they craft programs that tell stories and invite deep listening.

Come linger in the afterglow. Let the music carry you between waking and dreaming.
