After four concerts in 2023, János Mátyás Stark, Gergely Devich and Fülöp Ránki are announcing a new series at the BMC, now under the name of Trio Haris. The third concert features pieces by Haydn, Mozart, and Mendelssohn.

Haydn, as in so many of his works, makes countless subtle jokes in the E major Trio. Even the string pizzicatos at the very beginning of the piece are not out of the ordinary, not to mention the sometimes breakneck modulations, and the long piano solo in the slow movement. Mozart was also among the first to realize that the piano held more potential than previously thought. The Trio in B flat major features a concerto-like, virtuosic piano part. The two tender and playful outer movements encase a dreamlike slow movement of refined beauty. In Mendelssohn's Trio in D minor, a great success already at its premiere, the piano takes flight with virtuoso passages, the cello declares broad melodies in the spirit of Italian opera, and the light-footed fairies of the scherzo challenge the pianist with their exuberancy.
