Benicia Chamber Players present “Impressions that Remained,” the second program of our 2025–26 season, celebrating the string trio — an ensemble of violin, viola, and cello. The program features two trios in D‑major: Beethoven’s Op. 9 No. 2 and Ethel Smyth’s Op. 6. This pairing traces the evolution of the string trio: Beethoven was one of the first to establish it as a serious chamber music form, challenging each player with intricate interplay and individual virtuosity. Nearly a century later, Smyth engages with Beethoven’s tradition and expands it with her Romantic voice, inventive textures, and a charming nod to Scottish folk music.
