Following the success of its recent concert featuring the Vogler Quartet and Enrico Bronzi, the AML (Association of Music Lovers) returns to IMMA at 3.00pm on Sunday 11 April with another chamber music recital, this time presented by the Trio Echnaton from Germany.
Founded in 1995, the members of the Trio Echnaton were quickly hailed as among Germany’s most gifted young musicians. They won a youth music prize at the Villa Musica in Mainz in 1997 and a second prize just a year later at the German Music Competition in Bonn. The trio now has a busy international career. Most recently, they launched their second CD, featuring Mozart’s Divertimento in E flat major and a work by German composer Volker David Kirchner, written specially for them. Two of the ensemble, Wolfram Brandl, violin, and Sebastian Krunnies, viola, are members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, while cellist Frank-Michael Guthmann, is a member of the SWR Orchestra Baden-Baden.
Their programme for the concert is Beethoven’s String Trio , Opus 9, No 3; Martinu’s String Trio and Mozart’s Divertimento in E flat major, K.563 .
This event is free to IMMA Members
