A journey into the heart of the piano trio, through masterpieces and works waiting to be rediscovered, spanning different eras and musical languages. The star of this programme, rich in contrasts and evocative moments, is the Helix Trio, one of the most promising Swiss ensembles on the new chamber music scene, capable of combining energy, precision and an immediate musical rapport.

Founded in Basel, the Helix Trio has quickly established itself as one of the most dynamic ensembles of the new generation of Swiss chamber musicians, distinguishing itself in major international competitions and embarking on an intense concert schedule across Europe. Their interpretative style is characterised by a balance between lyricism and expressive tension, a meticulous attention to dynamics, and a focus on the quality of the individual instrumental voices.
The programme brings together diverse perspectives, connecting sensibilities that are distant in time yet surprisingly akin. From the lyrical intensity of Clara Schumann, with the Allegro moderato from the Trio Op. 17, we move to the contemporary writing of Domenico Turi, whose elegy Sguardi explores an intimate and suspended dimension.
The romantic heart of the concert emerges in the Andante con moto from Franz Schubert’s Trio Op. 100, accompanied by the refined Elegie by Paul Juon, a Russian composer of Swiss origin, capable of blending diverse influences into a personal language that defies categorisation.
The programme concludes with Ravel’s Trio in A minor: one of the pinnacles of 20th-century chamber music, where formal rigour and inventive freedom come together in a composition rich in colour and nuance.
