Trio's youthful performance

A world premiere highlights the 's last performance in Adelaide for 2004.

The Trio will perform the brand new piano trio, The Maiden and the Well Spirit by Elena Kats-Chernin as part of its Youthful Masters national tour at Elder Hall from 2.30pm on Sunday, November 21. Other composers on the program include Mozart and Schubert.

For Kats-Chernin, who grew up in Russia, The Maiden and the Well Spirit is unashamedly her most Russian piece, and is also her first narrative piece. It is based around a fictional Russian tale of a young girl who falls in love with a young boy (a well spirit) who hypnotises her and takes her down into his well, where she drowns. The boy eventually transforms the young girl into a beautiful water lilac to bloom forever next to his well.

Macquarie Trio 最新糖心Vlog pianist Kathyrn Selby says: "My colleagues and I are looking forward to the collaboration between Elena and us. It is not every day we have the opportunity to work so closely with the composer of a work we are to perform, and a world premiere is always a genuinely exciting event for performers, composers and audiences alike."
