Host

We’ll be performing three piano trios written within a decade of each other, each tracing a different path toward a new French musical identity.

Ravel’s trio (1914) was finished just before he enlisted in World War I. Tailleferre, the only woman of the composer collective Les Six, began hers in 1917 but left it incomplete until 1978. Fauré’s trio (1923) was his penultimate work, distilling a lifetime of refinement.

Fauré, as Paris Conservatory director, helped define a French style distinct from the dominant German tradition. Ravel, his student, expanded that style with Impressionist color, while Tailleferre and Les Six pushed further, favoring a leaner, neoclassical voice. Heard together, these works trace intersecting “lines of escape” from the musical past.
