Irish premiere of trio in St Peter’s Church
MUSIC fans will get the rare chance to hear three of today’s leading musicians perform together when Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch make their first visit to Ireland as part of the Drogheda Classical Music 2018/19 programme.
Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch was founded in 2009 and comprises three of the finest international instrumentalists performing today, and this Thursday October 18th at 7.30pm, the Trio will give their first performance in Ireland. For what will be an exclusive Drogheda-only concert, they will perform works for violin, cello and piano by Schubert, Beethoven and Dvorak.
Playing chamber music together at the Pablo Casals Prades Festival Hagai Shaham and Raphael Wallfisch recognised an immediate musical synergy. Arnon Erez joined them for trio concerts in Lucerne and the Netherlands later that year and the Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch was established.
Since 2009 the Trio have performed, broadcast and recorded widely throughout Europe and Israel, giving concerts in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Israel and Spain, and now Drogheda!
Performed by these three musicians, it is sure to be an evening of dramatic and beautiful music in the rich surrounds of St Peter’s Church of Ireland. Come early (7pm) to hear the musicians give a pre-concert talk about themselves and the works they will perform.
