SHOSTAKOVICH Trio No. 1 in C major, Op. 8
TCHAIKOVSKY Trio in A minor, Op. 50

At the same time as the Théâtre de la Ville is programming Chekhov’s play The Seagull, the Zadig Trio, acclaimed by many international awards, has chosen to perform Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. The musicians (two from France and one from the United States) will invite the audience to explore the Russian soul, to experience its romance and its torments, through two fascinating works: the Tchaikovsky Trio, a major work in the repertoire, and Opus 8 by Shostakovich, a work of his youth showing the influence of both Brahms and Schumann.
