Anton Arensky: Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor
Sheridan Seyfried: Piano Trio No. 3 (World Premiere) 


In its third, concluding performance of the season, Trio Barclay performs Anton Arensky’s rarely performed Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor. A masterful blend of emotions and melodies, the Trio is a musical journey through melancholy and passion. 

Also on the program is a world premiere by fan favorite and Trio Barclay collaborator, Sheridan Seyfried. A contemporary composer and native of Philadelphia, Seyfried’s music is melodic, rhythmic and, soulful, resonating with listeners from around the world.
