Led by Jonian Ilias Kadesha, Trio Gaspard is one of the most sought-after piano trios of their generation, praised for their unique and fresh music-making and regularly invited to perform at major international concert halls. Here they play three works from the great Czech chamber music tradition.

From the start we are plunged into the unbridled passion of Smetana’s early piano trio, composed after the death of his four-year-old daughter. Then a brief moment of calm in Suk’s nostalgic Elegy before one of the bestknown piano trios of all, Dvorák’s ‘Dumky’ Trio, strongly spiced with folk music rhythms and rich in flowing melodies.

Trio Gaspard enchant the audience with their beguilingly beautiful playing . . . each a master
musician in their own right, channelling their excellence into the ensemble.

North Esk Parish Church, Musselburgh

Opened in 1838 and recently restored, this fine church was designed by the Scottish architect William Burn (1789–1870). Among Burn’s best-known Edinburgh buildings are the Edinburgh Academy, St John’s Princes Street and North Leith Parish Church. He was a master of several different styles, and was regarded as a pioneer of Scottish baronial style in buildings like Balintore Castle and the Sheriff Court at Inverness Castle. The interior at North Esk features an all-round horseshoe gallery and a high vaulted ceiling. There are seven stained glass windows (one by Ballantine and Gardiner, 1892), a pink alabaster font and a fine brass eagle lectern. The organ, behind the central pulpit, was built by Abbot and Smith of Leeds in 1904.
