Smetana Piano Trio

Founded in the 1930’s, the Smetana Piano Trio featured some of the Czech Republic’s leading soloists of the time. The tradition of excellence has continued to this day, with the baton passing from one generation to the next as cellist Jan Páleníček continues the work of his father, Josef, an original member of the ensemble. The three current members are all distinguished Czech soloists in their own right, but together, they create a cohesive harmony celebrated throughout Europe and around the world. Jana Nováková, violin; Jan Páleníček, cello; Jitka Čechov, piano.

PROGRAM Ludwig van Beethoven: Trio No. 4 in B flat major (“Gassenhauer”), Op. 11; Johannes Brahms: Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101; Bedřich Smetana: Piano Trio in G minor, JB 1:64, Op. 15
