Kyiv Trio brings together three virtuosos from a similar background violinist Nazar Pylatyuk, cellist Natalia Khoma and pianist Volodymyr Vynnytsky. They are all Ukrainian-born and international competition winners. Each has an established and distinguished career as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician, and each has appeared with major orchestras and on premier chamber music series throughout the United States and Europe. Kyiv Trio is a stunning and virtuosic musical... partnership. The main work in their programme is Schubert’s Trio No. 2 in E-flat major for piano, violin, and violoncello, D. 929. This magnificent music was one his last compositions, completed in November 1827 and published in late 1828, shortly before his death. It was first performed at a private party and was among the few of his late compositions that Schubert heard performed before his death. It is a comparatively larger work than most piano trios of the time. Many will remember the main theme of the second movement from its use in Stanley Kubrick‘s 1975 film Barry Lyndon.

You know the drill! Sunday at 4:00pm we have another show for you! This week is the Kyvi Trio. Three incredibly talented musicians; Nazar Pylatyuk, Natalia Khoma, and Volodymyr Vynnytsky. All with countless awards to their names as a group and as individual performers. Don't miss it! But if by some chance you do, all shows can be found athttps://www.musicniagara.org/concerts/
