Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable experience on Saturday 10th February, as the 2024 InClassica International Music Festival, organised by SAMIT Event Group, presents a special classical music concert featuring three internationally-acclaimed musicians in a trio recital. Taking place at the UAE’s illustrious Dubai Opera, audiences in attendance will be able to witness a star-studded collaboration between Japanese violinist Daishin Kashimoto, Artistic Director of the Le Pont Music Festival, and First Prize winner at the 1994 Cologne International Violin Competition, 1996 Fritz Kreisler Competition, and 1996 Long-Thibaud International Competition, Italian pianist Enrico Pace, Grammy Award nominee, and winner of the 1989 Utrecht International Franz Liszt Piano Competition, and Armenian/UK cellist Alexander Chaushian, winner of the 12th International Tchaikovsky Competition, and the ARD Competition in Germany; Artistic Director of the International Pharos Chamber Music Festival and the Yerevan Music Festival, and Cello professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London. These three maestros will be interpreting Composer-in-Residence Alexey Shor’s acclaimed Piano Trio in B-minor, before turning to the famed Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, written by German composer Johannes Brahms in 1886 while on holiday in Switzerland. Finally, the trio will turn to Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No. 1, composed in 1839, and widely regarded as one of Mendelssohn's most accomplished, and indeed, most popular, chamber pieces.
