A piano trio of maturity, subtlety and substance

The Neave Trio – derives its name from the Gaelic word ‘niamh’ meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant’ – lived up to this description inasmuch as their performance at The Chapel, Park Lane, Norwich on Sunday 15 October (as part of Norfolk & Norwich Chamber Music), was bright and radiant and, indeed, lively and entertaining. The programme included Roussel’s Piano trio in E-flat major, Faure’s Piano Trio in D minor and Debussy’s Piano Trio in G major.

In this vibrant and highly-talented ensemble, a trio of nations come together with American-born violinist, Anna Williams, Russian-born cellist, Mikhail Veselov and Japanese-born pianist, Eri Nakamura.

“The performances balance passion with sensitivity and grace.”

“NEAVE is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant,’ both of which certainly apply to this trio’s music making.”
