Part of The Music of Budapest, Prague, and Vienna
Founded in 2003 in Prague, the Eben Trio (formerly Puella Trio) is considered one of the most gifted trios in the young, up-and-coming generation of musicians. Despite its short history, the ensemble has experienced remarkable success at local as well as foreign competitions, including winning the 2010 Bohuslav Martin competition in Prague. They have studied under members of the Guarneri and Alban Berg string quartets. Making their U.S. debut, the trio "has already achieved an admirable mastery of the great musical literature and plays extremely well together," says the Ostseezeitung Rügen, praising their interpretation of Dvorák's "Dumki" trio as "particularly convincing." The "Dumki," that most Czech of all compositions (and Dvorák's farewell gift to his homeland, the last piece he wrote before his departure for America, where he wrote the Cello Concerto and the New World Symphony) is joined on this All-Czech program with Smetana's heart-wrenching Trio, written after the loss of his child.
