MOZART Piano Trio in E, K. 542
WEIR Piano Quartet
BRAHMS Piano Quartet in G minor, Op. 25

The Gould Trio last visited Portsmouth Chamber Music four years ago with clarinettist Robert Plane when they gave a spellbinding performance of Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time.

This time they are joined by violist Gary Pomeroy from the Heath Quartet who played here in May 2013. Brahms’ G minor piano quartet is his most popular chamber work with its whirlwind Hungarian Dance finale. Judith Weir has become almost a household name over the last 20 years or so, being awarded a CBE in 2005, and succeeding Sir Peter Maxwell Davies as Master of the Queen’s Music in 2014.

Gould Piano Trio

The Gould Piano Trio has been compared in the Washington Post to the great Beaux Arts Trio for their “musical fire” and “dedication to the genre” and has remained at the forefront of the international chamber music scene for well over a quarter of a century. They have performed at iconic venues worldwide, such as New York’s Weill Recital Hall, with tours of N. America, the Far East, Europe and New Zealand, and numerous appearances at London’s Wigmore Hall. Their extensive discography includes releases on Naxos, Chandos, Somm, Resonus, NMC and Champs Hill.
