Mathea Goh, Dabin Baek, and Jon Lee present a piano trio program for Mother’s Day.

The program traces a path between darkness and illumination, reflecting an emotional journey of love, loss, and return.

Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio plunges into mysterious depths before bursting into sudden brilliance, while Dvořák’s F minor Trio moves through anguish toward warmth and affirmation. These trios reflect the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty born of emotional contrast.

What's the music?

Dabin Baek Cello
Mathea Goh Violin

Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1
Dvořák’s Trio No. 3 in F minor, Op. 65

Where does this music come from?

Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio was composed in 1808, during his middle period. The trio earned its nickname from its eerie second movement, which was sketched around the same time as ideas for a Macbeth opera, giving the music its haunting, theatrical quality.

Dvořák’s F minor Trio comes from 1883, shortly after the death of his mother. It marks a shift in his style toward greater emotional depth and structural rigor, blending the lyricism of his Czech roots with the influence of Brahms.
