Violinist Lydia Choorapuzha, violist Warren Davidson, and Pittsburgh Symphony assistant principal cellist Adam Liu perform a varied and fascinating program of string trio music at St. Stephen Lutheran in Scott Township.

“Three Spirituals” by American composer Adolphus Hailstork takes traditional tunes and treats them with Baroque counterpoint technique and jazz harmonies. Hungarian Ernst von Dohnanyi’s “Serenade” is perhaps his most frequently performed work, inspired by a Beethoven trio; Beethoven, in his turn, was inspired to write for string trio by Mozart’s “Divertimento.” Some musicians (including the violist in this performance) think the Mozart Divertimento is the best piece ever written for sting trio. Come judge for yourself!
