Event Description

Musicians

Elisabeth Zeuthen Schneider – Violin
Toke Møldrup – Cello
Daniele Rinaldo – Piano

This talented trio played at Hellens in summer 2025 and the organisers are delighted to welcome them again in April 2026.

The first half of the programme opens with a grand Bach piece: a ‘Triosonata’ where three voices -violin, left and right hand of keyboard – tease and baffle.

The Debussy cello sonata was conceived as a tribute to the baroque masters Couperin and Rameau and has a beautiful intimate atmosphere

The Janácek ‘Pohádka’ (Fairytale) is inspired by an epic Russian poem and rounds off the first half of the concert on a fantastic note.

After the break we set sail for the Beethoven trio: The name ‘Archduke’ refers to the dedication from Rudolph of Austria, an amateur pianist, a friend and piano student of Beethoven. The title shadows a bit for the wonderful inspired piece, which happened to become the last piece that Beethoven performed in public. His deafness was at this point so grave that he could not hear himself – let alone the violin and cello. Despite the intense anguish Beethoven must have felt at this time, he composes a piece of great beauty and optimism. The programme is a tour de force – all pieces playing up to the large, wonderful Beethoven trio that is one of Beethoven’s greatest works.

Tickets: £20 (free to full-time students and carers) – available to book via the Hellens website
