Saturday, 15th June, 5pm

Note that the second concert is Saturday, not Sunday

Shostakovich, Trio no. 2 in E Minor op. 67 

Rachmaninov: Cello Sonata in G Minor op. 19

Two Russian works of different periods: Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata was written in 1901. Shostakovich's second trio was written in 1944. Both are substantial, four movement works. Both are packed with great themes; Rachmaninov tending to the elegant and beautiful, Shostakovich more rhythmic but with a great slow movement, a lament mourning the death of the composer's friend, Sollertinsky, to whom the quartet is dedicated. 



Tasana Nagavajara is the director of the Pro Musica Orchestra, Bangkok and former concertmaster of the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra. He is well known to our audience, having performed many times with Alexandre and Dimitri and with the Pro Musica Quartet.
