This year Three Piece Suite honours the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven. In their Autumn concert, Beethoven & Beyond, the established string trio of Rachel Westwood (violin), Valmai Coggins (viola) and Deborah Coogan (cello) combine his string trios and duets, adding to the mix other composers with connections to Beethoven.
"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life," he wrote, so after a tough start to the year, soothe your soul with an hour of sublime, passionate and thought-provoking selections by Haydn, Hoffmeister, Dohnanyi and of course, the birthday boy, Beethoven.
Stay after the performance to meet the performers and enjoy the famous afternoon tea. One third of the proceeds will go to WIRES Blue Mountains Branch.
Tickets can be purchased online with credit/paypal at tpschambermusic.com or at the door (cash only) from 3.30pm $30 for adults, $5 for children.
The concert is at the Blackheath Presbyterian Church, 123 Wentworth St, on Sunday, March 22 at 4pm.
